Target has recalled Up & Up fragrance-free and fresh cucumber baby wipes after reports of infections and FDA testing found bacterial contamination, according to East County Magazine and the Food and Drug Administration.\n\nThe recall involves baby wipes sold at Target stores nationwide and on Target.com. The FDA said testing found Burkholderia cepacia and Burkholderia gladioli, bacteria that can cause localized or systemic infections and may be especially risky for newborns, babies and young children.\n\nConsumers should stop using the recalled wipes immediately and return them to any Target store for a full refund, according to the FDA. Target Guest Relations can be reached at (800) 440-0680 from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Central time.\n\nFor Santee families, the practical takeaway is simple: check any Up & Up baby wipes at home, photograph package item numbers and sell-by dates for your records, and do not keep using wipes included in the recall. Parents who have concerns about symptoms should contact their pediatrician.\n\nSource: East County Magazine.
