Rockline Industries has recalled its store brand wet wipes after routine testing discovered the presence of Burkholderia cepacia (B. cepacia), a bacteria that can cause health problems for people already suffering from illness.
The company said that the affected wet wipes, which have been sold in retail outlets such as Wal-Mart and Sam’s Club, are likely to have a sour milk odor. As yet, there have been no reports of illness connected to the recall.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reported that B. cepacia does not pose a serious threat to healthy people, but can cause health problems for people with weakened immune systems or chronic lung disease, particularly sufferers of cystic fibrosis.
