(Added later: just noticed this was posted a few times before... I'm going to keep my post here just to encourage everyone to check. I had ignored it the first time I saw it... but glad I made DH look). Sorry to be redundant!
I'm guessing most of you have been contacted by your clinic... but I wanted to encourage anyone who is using baby/diaper wipes purchased at Sam's or Walmart to check the recall information posted on CFF.org. It is only certain brands with certain lot numbers and certain codes.
We got a note from our clinic and found that the box of 720 wipes we just FINISHED are from the lot that has been flagged for possible contamination with B. cepacia. The brand from Sam's Club is called Member's Mark and it is in a green box. I think that the Walmart brand is Equate... but you have to doublecheck as I'm stating from memory.... I don't shop there.

Please think good thougths for my kids that they weren't exposed! Still waiting for guidance from the clinic. This sucks. Out of all the boxes in all the stores... how does one end up at our house!?! I knew that there was a reason I used to boycott Walmart.
