Baby Wipes Recalled

A nationwide recall on several baby wipe brands was issued today. Find out if a brand you've bought made the list.

A Pennsylvania company called Nutek Disposables, which makes baby wipes under several different brand names, issued a press release announcing the recall of all of their wipes due to  potential bacteria in the wipes.

Their baby wipes are sold at Walgreens, Sam's Club, Family Dollar, Fred's, and Diapers.com and according to the release any wipes sold prior to October 21st should be disposed of immediately because they may contain bacteria called Burkholderia cepacia, or B. cepacia.

The company first heard about the problem after customers complained about odor and discoloration on the wipes.

Their brands include, Cuties, Diapers.com, Femtex, Fred’s, Kidgets, Member’s Mark, Simply Right, Sunny Smiles, Tender Touch, and Well Beginnings. So if you have purchased these baby wipe products in the past few weeks, you should get rid of those wipes and get new ones.
