Target has issued a voluntary recall for select Up & Up Fragrance Free Baby Wipes and Up & Up Fresh Cucumber Scented Baby Wipes due to potential bacterial contamination that could lead to serious health issues, particularly in infants and young children. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) confirmed the presence of Burkholderia cepacia complex and Burkholderia gladioli bacteria in some samples, which poses significant risks to vulnerable populations, including newborns and those with weakened immune systems. Infections can lead to severe conditions such as sepsis or pneumonia. Reports of skin and eye irritation have been linked to these products, prompting the recall affecting various package sizes sold at Target stores nationwide. Consumers are advised to stop using the wipes immediately and return them for a full refund. For further assistance, Target's Guest Relations can be contacted at 800-440-0680.
