Stueve Siegel Hanson LLP, a leading law firm dedicated to protecting the rights of consumers, is currently investigating potential claims against personal care product manufacturer Kimberly-Clark related to its recently announced recall of select Cottonelle Flushable Wipes products.
What products were recalled?
Kimberly-Clark, manufacturer of popular personal care products, recently announced a recall of its Cottonelle Flushable Wipes, Cottonelle GentlePlus Flushable Wipes, and Cottonelle FreshFeel Flushable Wet Wipes for Adults, among others, over bacterial contamination.
The affected products were sold nationwide at retailers including Amazon, Costco and others, and were manufactured between Feb. 7 and Sept. 14, 2020.
Why were they recalled?
In October, Amazon, Costco and other retailers began warning customers who purchased certain Cottonelle Flushable Wipes that their products might contain a strain of bacteria known as Pluralibacter gergoviae which was detected during product testing.
This strain of bacteria is an opportunistic pathogen that can cause serious infection in humans. Individuals who have a weakened immune system, suffer from pre-existing conditions, have been treated surgically, or belong to another sensitive group of persons are at particular risk of harm. Cottonelle is recalling all affected products.
