How Did Kimberly-Clark Put Consumers At Risk?

Kimberly-Clark produces and sells various Cottonelle Flushable Wipes and Cottonelle GentlePlus 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.
