Walmart Parent’s Choice Baby Wipes Potential Recall Overview:
- Who: There have been reports of a potential recall of Walmart Parent’s Choice baby wipes.
- Why: There is no official recall notice, and while rumors of toxic metal contamination are unfounded, parents have found issues with the product.
- Where: The Walmart Parent’s Choice baby wipes are sold in Walmart stores nationwide.
Social media rumors have swirled in the past week regarding a potential recall of Walmart Parent’s Choice baby wipes despite neither Walmart nor the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) publicly issuing an official recall or statement.
However, a statement from Walmart emailed to the Miami Herald on May 3 says, “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.”
The Miami Herald reports that according to an alleged product removal notice sent to Walmart stores that has been posted on social media and parent forums, at least 18 lots with Lot Nos. L22075-L22085 and L22089-L22095 of Parent’s Choice Unscented wipes and Scented wipes are part of the recall.
Reports of Toxic Metal Contamination of Parent’s Choice Baby Wipes Unfounded
The rumor originated with a product removal alert dated April 28, 2022, that was shared to Twitter two days later, according to Snopes.
The post reads,” “An email with the subject line “Dept. 79 UPDATE — Nice-Pak Products – Parent’s Choice Baby Wipes” said that a message was sent to all Walmart stores on April 25 to “remove specific lot numbers of the Parent’s Choice Baby Wipes and to send those specific lots to Return Centers.”
Concerned parents then allegedly spread the information on various social media sites and parenting forums. However, it seems the information became distorted, as one user who posted in an online forum hosted by Baby Center claimed that the “wipes are causing an orange color that doesn’t come off and burns” that are due to “exposure of metals like arsenic and mercury.”
There have been no confirmed reports of toxic metal contamination, Snopes says.
Walmart is not currently facing legal action over the recall, but Top Class Actions will follow this story closely as it receives more information.
In 2014, Walmart was hit with a class action lawsuit by an Alabama woman over baby wipes and other Simply Right products sold at Sam’s Club stores that were recalled for causing a bacterial infection, which allegedly made the woman ill.

Please add me. Have used these on many occasions
En Abril me hicieron un baby shower y uno de los invitados me regalo una caja de toallitas parents choice y apenas la use. Cual fue mi sorpresa mirar este tipo de informacion y mirar ami bebe con problemas en la piel. Justo donde utilice las toallitas en su piel tiene las heridas. La verdad no se que hacer.
We have been using parents choice unscented baby wipes for a while and as time went on, we noticed that the wipes would turn brown. Didnt understand why, but reading the comments I see I’m not the only one with this issue
Me too!! I didn’t know why my babies skin had this orange then turned brown! The wipes changed colors also as they dried to a black color! My babies skin was irritated burned! and a mess! Cries when she went pee! This happen 2 months ago! I am so upset because what is it! And they are not saying anything about it! I have nasty pics of the damage
Si, la deje de usar de imediato , lanprimera vez dude que fuera la toalla, la segunda lo comprobe, se le puso como quemado, rojo, dilato en quitarse como 1 hora, lo descarte de inmediato
so I found this article trying to see why my hands were turning orange and . I bought a box of wipes from Walmart around May and just opened it the other day. I’m so glad I found this article. I was worried and now I know I have a right to be.
We bought a pack of these from Walmart on May 5th and we all started turning orange. Hands, legs, butt, belly. Everywhere.
I AM JUST NOW LEARNING ABOUT THIS. WHY?!!! Add me please!
Add me too. My grandbaby kept getting a rash that looked more like a burn and I was told by a friend about a wipes recall. Read this and cried cause we have went through a whole box. Never even thought about it being the wipes. I am so angry. Calling her Dr. tomorrow to get her some medication. Had this rash 2 weeks.
Please add me. This is very sad.
