Target has issued a voluntary recall of two variations of its Up & Up brand baby wipes after potentially harmful bacteria was discovered during routine testing.
An announcement published Friday by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration revealed that multiple customers who bought the wipes had complained to Target and the product’s manufacturer, Sapro Temizlik Urunleri, about discoloration and symptoms including skin irritation, eye irritation and infections. Simultaneously, the FDA conducted product testing that “identified the presence of Burkholderia cepacia complex and Burkholderia gladioli,” two bacteria that could case life-threatening infections.
