<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">If it&#8217;s not one thing, it&#8217;s another! Roomies, if you purchased popular product Cottonelle wipes throughout this pandemic, you might be surprised to learn that Cottonelle has <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/nestle-toll-house-recalls-its-refrigerated-cookie-dough-due-to-rubber-pieces/">recalled</a> their flushable wipes nationwide due to possible bacteria contamination. This is a big issue because this can cause bacterial infections in consumers.</p>
<p>Kimberly-Clark, which is the company that manufacturers Cottonelle, has issued the recall on select packages of Cottonelle Flushable Wipes and GentlePlus Flushable Wipes that were manufactured between Feb. 7 and Sept. 14. According to the official recall notice on the <a href="https://www.cottonelle.com/en-us/recallfaq">Cottonelle</a> website, consumers can check to see if their wipes were affected.</p>
<p>In the recall notice, Kimberly-Clark states, ”Some of the affected products could contain the bacterium, Pluralibacter gergoviae, which is a cause of infection in humans, can be an opportunistic pathogen, and is part of the normal intestinal flora. At this time, there is a low rate of non-serious complaints, such as irritation and minor infection, reported for the affected wipes.&#8221;</p>
<p>Also, the recall does warn consumers with weakened immune systems and pre-existing conditions that have been treated surgically or belong to another sensitive group of people. They are at higher risk of bacterial infection.</p>
<p>Kimberly-Clark encourages anyone who believes they were infected to contact their Consumer Service team at 1-800-414-0165 for instructions, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT on weekdays.</p>
