Target is voluntarily recalling two types of its Up & Up brand baby wipes: Fragrance Free and Fresh Cucumber Scented. The decision to recall comes after customers reported issues with product discoloration. Further investigation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) confirmed the presence of Burkholderia cepacia complex, a group of bacteria that can cause health problems, particularly in individuals with pre-existing respiratory conditions. The recall affects all lots of both the Up & Up Fragrance Free Baby Wipes and the Up & Up Fresh Cucumber Scented Baby Wipes. Customers who purchased these products are advised to stop using them immediately and can return them to any Target store for a full refund.
