The recall involves Up & Up Fragrance Free and Up & Up Fresh Cucumber Scented Baby Wipes, the Food and Drug Administration said.

It was issued after consumers complained about discoloration and the FDA found Burkholderia cepacia complex and Burkholderia gladioli in samples. The bacteria could cause serious and life-threatening infections, the FDA said.
