Recall For Disposable Baby Wipes Sold At Walgreens, Sam's Club, Family Dollar
MCELHATTAN, PA (WWJ) — Nutek Disposables has initiated a nationwide voluntary recall of baby wipes that were manufactured under the brand names Cuties, Diapers.com, Femtex, Fred's, Kidgets, Member's Mark, Simply Right, Sunny Smiles, Tender Touch, and Well Beginnings, because some packages have been found to contain bacteria.
These wipes were distributed prior to Oct. 21, 2014 at Walgreens, Sam's Club, Family Dollar, Fred's and Diapers.com.
After receiving a small number of complaints of odor and discoloration, Nutek conducted testing that showed the presence of a bacteria -- B. cepacia-- in some of these products.
B. cepacia poses little medical risk to healthy people. However, people who have certain health problems -- like weakened immune systems, chronic lung diseases or particularly cystic fibrosis -- may be more susceptible to infections with B. cepacia.
If you believe you have a weakened immune system or chronic lung disease and you have used one of the affected wipe products, you should call your doctor promptly for medical advice.
Consumers who have purchased this product can return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact the company at 1-855-646-4351.
