Target recalls Up & Up baby wipes after FDA finds bacteria
Target announced a voluntary recall of two Up & Up baby‑wipe lines in the United States after the U. S. Food and Drug Administration reported the presence of antibiotic‑resistant Burkholderia bacteria. The recall was first reported by ABC News, which said the products might be contaminated with harmful bacteria.
CBS News later noted that the FDA warned the wipes could pose serious health risks. Subsequent testing detailed by the New York Post confirmed the bacteria were antibiotic‑resistant Burkholderia species. Target urged consumers to stop using the wipes immediately and to return them for a refund.
