Stinky Wet Wipes?
When was the last time your wet wipes smelled like something rotten? You’ll never guess what happened…
I had never heard of wet wipes having an expiration date but what other reason could there be to the awful stench? I searched the web looking for an answer. Just when I was about to call off the search and give up I came across a recall on wet wipes. I ran to get my mega size box of wipes only to find out that they have been recalled. My wet wipes were recalled! And why… because some were found to be contaminated with Burkholderia cepacia, a micro-organism known to cause infections in people with low immune systems. I’ve been wiping my son’s bottom with micro-organism contaminated wipes for the past 4 months! (Talk about being grossed out!) I’m amazed that I even found out. How often do you check to see if something is recalled before you toss it in the trash and just buy a new one?

Hi Rosie,
That is so disgusting! I’m glad you found out. A few months ago we found out our acetominophin (or however you spell it) was recalled because it had small parts of METAL in it and could make us sick. We had been taking it for months as it was a huge bottle. I know how you feel….
Love,
Erin
