Walmart pulls store-brand baby wipes for a ‘quality issue.’ What parents need to know
There’s enough of a problem with Walmart’s house brand of baby wipes, Parent’s Choice, that 18 lots have been pulled from shelves.
But, as of Wednesday morning, the biggest of big box retailers hadn’t announced a recall of the product and is being opaque about the problem.
A statement from Walmart emailed to the Miami Herald on Tuesday afternoon said: “Walmart proactively removed select lot numbers of Parents Choice baby wipes from stores due to a quality issue. We are working closely with the supplier and FDA to investigate the issue. Customers may return the product to any Walmart store for a refund.”
As for what those lot numbers are, a Thursday product removal notice sent to Walmart stores has been making the social media rounds in parent groups. That notice lists lot Nos. L22075-L22085 and L22089-L22095 and lists at least Parent’s Choice Unscented wipes and Scented wipes.
