Company announcement
Target is voluntarily recalling Up & Up Fragrance Free and Up & Up Fresh Cucumber Scented Baby Wipes.
The recall is due to potential microbial contamination, specifically Burkholderia cepacia complex and Burkholderia gladioli, identified through FDA testing and customer complaints of product discoloration.
The products were sold nationwide at Target stores and online. Customer complaints include product discoloration, skin irritation, eye irritation, and infections. No deaths or specific injuries are reported.
Risk:
Use of products contaminated with Burkholderia cepacia complex and Burkholderia gladioi may result in serious and life-threatening infections. The products are predominantly used on newborns, infants, and young children, who are particularly vulnerable to opportunistic infection due to their immature immune systems. In healthy individuals, use of the product on skin with minor lesions will more likely result in local infections, whereas in immunocompromised individuals, newborns, infants and young children, the infection is more likely to spread into the bloodstream, potentially leading to life-threatening sepsis or pneumonia.
