Target is recalling several lots of its Up & Up baby wipes after testing revealed contamination with potentially harmful bacteria, specifically Burkholderia cepacia complex and Burkholderia gladioli. This recall affects both Fragrance Free and Fresh Cucumber Scented baby wipes, which are primarily used on infants and young children, a demographic particularly vulnerable to infections due to their developing immune systems. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued the recall notice following customer complaints about product discoloration and adverse health effects, including skin and eye irritation. The affected wipes were manufactured by Sapro Temizlik Urunleri and sold at Target stores and online. Consumers are urged to stop using the wipes immediately and return them for a full refund. A complete list of affected product codes and sizes is available in the FDA notice. Target is actively investigating the matter in conjunction with the FDA and the supplier.
