Cottonelle Wipes Recall
I usually link to the government link for recalls, but for some reason, I cannot find this on the government site. If anyone finds it, please send me the link. Anyway, if you have purchased Cottonelle Wipes, you will want to check the lot code on them to see if they have been recalled.
Grab your pack (or packs) and enter the lot codes on the package to see if your wipes have been recalled. You can go to the Cottonelle recall page here:
Can you describe what the problem is with Cottonelle® Flushable Wipes?
The affected product could show the presence of a bacterium (Pluralibacter gergoviae) which naturally occurs in the environment and in the human body. Pluralibacter gergoviae rarely causes serious infections in healthy individuals. However, individuals with weakened immune systems are at a heightened risk of infection. Consumers can identify the recalled product by looking for specific lot numbers found on the bottom of the package and verifying it with the lot checker on the Cottonelle® website. At this time there is a low rate of non-serious complaints, such as irritation and minor infection, reported for the affected wipes.
For more facts about this recall and other information on how to claim a reimbursement, please see their website.
