Kimberly-Clark has initiated a voluntary product recall on Cottonelle® Flushable Wipes sold by Costco due to the discovery of possible microbial activity on the wipes.

You can return the unused wipes and get a full refund. I returned the product yesterday and got full money ($16+tax) at my local warehouse.

Multiple lot impacted: BI012505X (example)

It's not just the above lot number.

I checked ours and it is part of the recall and is different than the lot you posted.

Check yours here.

It's not right. I have been using these wipes from both Costco and Amazon. How am I supposed to apply for the recall for those that I have thrown out already? They unleashed a bacterial infection on their wipes, why can't order details suffice? Sorry, I'm not saving finished wipes packaging in order to find the lot #.

I bought this product for the first time in my life and of course it's one of the lots with the infection. I hope there's a nice class-action lawsuit coming out of this.

The last thing anyone should have to deal with is an infection from a product like this during the pandemic. Also the company is very opaque about what symptoms it causes and how serious it is.

Yes I agree, there is no clear message as to what exactly they found and in what amount.

I received email from Costco. Good thing is Costco is taking return for whatever is left and they refunded the full amount. The lady did check my lot number and confirmed it was part of the recall before initiating any refund.

I hope Amazon is doing something along the similar lines. Did you talk to their customer service to get refund?

Wow. Straight to a class action lawsuit... gotta love liberal America. I'm sure you have never, ever, made a mistake in your life.

The company created a recall for the product and even setup a process to get a refund (https://www.cottonelle.com/en-us/contact-us). But, nope, not good enough. A class action lawsuit would be wayyy much better. For the lawyers of course, not for you or me. Because after the lawyers get their $35M cut, the general populous would wind up with a check or coupon for like 35 cents.

By the way, a simple 30 second google gave me this: "Pluralibacter gergoviae (formerly E. gergoviae) are part of the normal intestinal flora and may be considered an opportunistic pathogen. 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 particular risk of infection."

note the normal intestinal flora part... if you don't know what that means, give this new fandangled gadget called google a try.
