A brand of baby wipes is being recalled due to possible mould growth which if used could lead to irritation, infection or allergic reaction.

Bunjie Peek-A-Boo Probiotic baby eye wipes, sold at Chemist Warehouse and Baby Bunting, were being recalled due to some individual sachets not being properly sealed during the manufacturing process.

It impacted packs containing 30 and 60 wipes, sold between December 2024 and August 2025.

The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE), said as a result of the wipes not being properly sealed air flow in and out of the sachet, the preservative system may have failed, leading to mould growth.

If mouldy wipe was used around the eyes it could lead to irritation, infection or an allergic reaction, MBIE said.

Anyone with sensitive skin or a weakened immune system was at greater risk, it said.
