Health Canada has issued a large recall of numerous wipes products sold in Halton region and across Canada due to a possible contamination that could cause infections.

The involves Cottonelle & Cottonelle GentlePlus Flushable Wipes products. The company reported that more than 2 million units of the affected products were sold in Canada.

“Some of the recalled products may have the presence of a common household microorganism, Pluralibacter gergoviae,” Health Canada said in a statement. “Pluralibacter gergoviae rarely causes serious infections in healthy individuals. Individuals with weakened immune systems, who suffer from a serious pre-existing condition, who have been treated surgically, or belong to another sensitive group of persons are at an increased risk of infection if they use the contaminated product.”

The affected products were sold from February 14, 2020 to October 7, 2020, Health Canada said.

As of October 7, the company has received no reports of incidents or serious injuries in Canada.

“Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled product and dispose of it,” the Health Canada recall states, adding buyers should contact Kimberly-Clark (the distributor) for a refund and for information on disposal.

The affected products were sold at many stores, including Costco.
