LG Household & Health Care Recalls All 'Bebience Only7' Wet Wipes After Detection of Humidifier Disinfectant Ingredients

[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] LG Household & Health Care announced on the 22nd that it will recall all children's wet tissue products after disinfectant ingredients used in humidifier disinfectants were recently detected, causing controversy.

The problematic product is the Babyens Only7 Essential55 (Pinkfong Cap 70-sheet wet tissue) with the manufacturing number 1LQ.

The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety previously detected a mixture of the disinfectant preservatives Methylchloroisothiazolinone (CMIT) and Methylisothiazolinone (MIT) in this product and ordered a sales suspension, recall, and disposal.

CMIT and MIT are ingredients that were used as raw materials in humidifier disinfectants that caused social controversy. In South Korea, these substances are regulated and prohibited for use in hygiene products such as cleaners, rinse aids, and wet tissues.

LG Household & Health Care explained that after the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety's order, an investigation found that residual cleaning agents remained on the nonwoven fabric used for wet tissues supplied by a partner company's production line after cleaning, which mixed into the nonwoven fabric material.

They also added that they will recall not only the products with the problematic manufacturing number but also all products manufactured before the recall order issued by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety on the 4th.

Consumers who purchased the product can contact the LG Household & Health Care customer service center to receive guidance regarding the recall.
