Baby wipes ripped off shelves

Who is doing the "withdrawing", a gun-shy, panicked retailer or an officially sanctioned agency?

Just because Wendyl Sailor but something in a book, doesn't make it true. There's nothing scientifically proven about aspartame, or MSG but the urban legends about these linger on and people fear these products nonetheless.

I think its an agency,

We had pulled all our stock off and had to black list it on our systems to prevent sale (encase we missed one or two) and today we had the council and some kind of heath inspector of sorts come in and check where the stock was been held and how it had been labeled and the measures we were putting in place to prevent the sale of it.

I think it's a media beat-up.

The withdrawal is being done by the importer for reasons more than a bit different from those originally reported in this thread.

Read these less sensationalist and arguably more believable items:

Been using one of those with mine, but as it says as long as it's not getting the mouth or ingested it should be fine. I plan on using up whats left and then buying a different brand.

Given I've spent time in manufacturing, taking more than two years to pick up on something like improper labeling seems a gross flaw in their processing and quality control.

I'm just concerned as to what I am going to use to wipe my two years old arse when he gets up in the morning.

The dog must be getting sick of it by now.

Who's stupid enough to wipe a baby with chemicals anyway?

Everything contains "chemicals". Even water. It has two hydrogen molecules and one oxygen. Additionally water contains traces of all manner of stuff. The worst form of water is that really expensive stuff that comes out of plastic bottles. Soap contains chemicals. Cotton towels contain chemicals. A mother's loving breath and kisses contain chemicals. Babies don't stand a chance on that score.

That terrible chemical Hydrogen Hydroxide kills millions of people every year.
It should be banned.....

Yeah, when it's used to prepare salad vegetables in dodgy Asian countries it can have terrible effects - Balu knows all about that!

Whats confusing me a tad is SILK baby wipes have that ingredient listed on their packaging yet now that this has come about they are claiming that the label is wrong and that the crap isn't actually in them.

Call me naive but I never even knew about the stuff until now. Just goes to show what may be in all kinds of products that we use on a daily basis.

Not saying that I didn't think that there could be something bad in makeups, body lotions, etc... But baby wipes?



EDIT: Ah, dumb me just read that article. Explains why its listed on packaging. The herald article I had read last night didn't really explain other than "It shouldn't have been on the packaging."

I've recently done a basket full of baby products for a person I did some research in baby products and found this product the name of it is GAIA all the baby products the company makes are organic. The baby wipes they have are called Bamboo Baby wipes the wipes.

Toilet paper & then Chux multicloths with water in an old dish, they wash out & are great for removing those last clingon pooey bits.

I wish I didn't need to know these things. Heck I felt like Octomum on saturday.
