What to do if you own this product
What is the hazard with CVS Health Medicated Hemorrhoidal Wipes?
CVS Health Medicated Hemorrhoidal Wipes (Diamond Wipes International, Inc. of Chino, California) was announced earlier this year, in the "Other" category. The recalled medicated wipes contain lidocaine, which must be in child-resistant packaging, as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. The packaging of the wipes is not child-resistant, posing a risk of serious injury or death from poisoning if the contents of the wipes are ingested by young children. This falls under one of the more serious hazard categories (injury, choking or strangulation risk), so the recall covers every unit sold, not only units with a reported incident.
What should you do if you own this product?
Consumers should secure the wipes out of sight and reach of children immediately and contact CVS for a full refund. Consumers will be asked to return unopened packets of wipes with the retail box packaging to any CVS store. Sold at: CVS and CVS Pharmacy stores nationwide and online at www.cvs.com from April 2020 through April 2026 for about $16.. If you bought it somewhere else, the remedy above still applies — contact the firm directly using the official recall page linked below.
How many units are affected?
About About 75,315 units of CVS Health Medicated Hemorrhoidal Wipes are covered by this recall, according to the official count reported by the firm to the regulator.
