## Why This Recall is Important
The recall is being conducted due to concerns over contamination by two types of bacteria: *Burkholderia cepacia* complex (*Bcc*) and *Burkholderia gladioli*. These bacteria are known to cause serious health risks, particularly for individuals with weakened immune systems, including infants, young children, and those with chronic illnesses.
- Contaminated wipes may lead to localized skin or eye infections.
- In severe cases, especially in immunocompromised individuals, the bacteria could cause dangerous bloodstream infections, sepsis, or pneumonia.
Target commenced the recall after customer complaints about product discoloration were followed by FDA tests identifying the presence of these harmful bacteria. The health and safety of customers, particularly those caring for vulnerable infants, remain the highest priority in this recall effort.
