Some of you might wonder why I'm posting this since it seems related to cf and
immune supressed people. This is a bad bug that is hard to get rid of if you
have a chance of getting it. There are currently no anti-biotics to get rid of
this bacteria.

Subject: [CYSTIC-L] Alert: Recall on Wet Wipes due to B. cepacia
To: CYSTIC-L@...

Dear Readers:

Some of you may have already seen or read the recall on the CF
discussion boards and chat rooms but for the rest of the CF community,
please check if you are in possession of the wet wipes described below.

Rockline Industries is recalling wet wipes sold under various names at
Wal-Mart and Sam's Club stores from Aug. 21 to Nov. 17 because they
could contain a bacteria known as Burkholderia cepacia (B. cepacia).
People with weakened immune systems or chronic lung diseases,
particularly cystic fibrosis (CF), may be more susceptible to infections
with B. cepacia, which also is a known cause of infections in
hospitalized patients, according to the federal Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention. Products that are affected will likely have a
bad odor described as sour milk, Rockline said.

The affected wipes have lot codes, different from bar codes that begin
with the word Lot and a series of five digits from 06233 to 06253. These
numbers will be followed by either 0220197 or 0220693. Packages may be
returned for replacement or a refund.

For more information, call Rockline Industries at 866-964-3322 or visit
