Rockline Industries Recently Instituted a Voluntary Product Withdrawal of Store Brand Baby Wipes.
Hazard identified
Routine product testing detected the presence of a micro-organism known as Burkholderia cepacia (B. cepacia). In general, this bacteria poses little medical risk to healthy people. However this bacteria can cause serious infections, including pneumonia and blood infection, in patients with weakened immune systems, chronic lung diseases, or cystic fibrosis. Products contaminated with B. cepacia should not be used on broken skin of babies or young children.
Products that are affected may have a bad odour described as sour milk.
Number sold
Approximately 32,000 units of the affected products were sold.
Time period sold
Between August 21 and November 17, 2006.
