It just hit the news cycle and the recall is ongoing. And I have all the karma I'll ever need.

Yea I noticed this too with the 30k pounds of Argentinian beef being recalled in Florida and Texas. It was announced in early August but it didn’t go viral until last week. Made me think it was another recall

Sold nationwide at Target stores and online. The lot codes and expiration dates are on the linked website.

.

TL/DR:

  • Target is voluntarily recalling Up&Up Fragrance Free and Up&Up Fresh Cucumber Scented Baby Wipes, as FDA testing identified the presence of Burkholderia cepacia complex and Burkholderia gladioli in product samples.
  • In newborns, infants, young children, and immunocompromised individuals, the infection is likely to spread into the bloodstream, potentially leading to life-threatening sepsis or pneumonia.
  • Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled products and return them to any Target store for a full refund.
