How Did Kimberly-Clark Put Consumers at Risk?

​Kimberly-Clark produces and sells various Cottonelle Flushable wipes to consumers across America.  Sadly, these items may contain pluralibacter gergoviae, a bacterium that can cause a host of health problems such as:
Rash

• Skin irritation
• Skin Infection
• Urinary Tract Infection
• Respiratory Infection

Gastrointestinal Infection

​The company characterized pluralibacter gergoviae as a “cause of infection in humans” and “an opportunistic pathogen.” Those with weakened immune systems, who have undergone surgery, and who have pre-existing conditions may be particularly at risk.

Which Products Are Being Recalled?

​The recall is limited to specific lots of Cottonelle Flushable Wipes and Cottonelle GentlePlus Flushable Wipes manufactured between February 7, 2020 and September 14, 2020.
