Target Recalls Up & Up Baby Wipes Over Bacterial Contamination Risk

Target is voluntarily recalling certain Up & Up brand baby wipes (fragrance-free and Fresh Cucumber Scented) after FDA testing detected bacteria, specifically Burkholderia cepacia complex and Burkholderia gladioli, with customers reporting skin irritation, eye irritation, and infections. Infants and young children are especially vulnerable to serious, life‑threatening infections from contaminated products. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled wipes and return them to Target for a full refund; the products were sold nationwide in stores and on Target.com and were manufactured by Sapro Temizlik Urunleri. The investigation is ongoing, and questions can be directed to Target Guest Relations.
