No, Those Aren’t Glass Shards in Your Huggies Wipes

Hey there, fellow parents! A mom recently took to Facebook, posting a video that has stirred quite the buzz. She claimed to have discovered what looked like shards of glass in her Huggies wipes. In the video, Sarah Johnson appeared visibly shaken, showing the “glass” on the wipes and expressing her heartbreak that she hadn’t noticed it sooner. “All we have to do is wipe and glass comes right off,” she says, running her fingers over the wipes multiple times. This video has been shared over seven million times, and it’s created quite a PR mess for Huggies, who are now scrambling to respond to concerned parents on their Facebook page.

Huggies has stepped in, explaining that the shiny particles are not glass. According to their FAQ, “No, we do not use glass in the manufacture of our wipes.” They clarify that the product is made from a blend of fibers, and on rare occasions, some fibers may combine in a way that creates shiny particles similar to what was found by this consumer. Huggies reassures us that their wipes have been rigorously tested and have been safely used for many years. They will not be recalling the product, as they claim “no babies have been injured” and that the wipes do not pose a health risk.

As of now, there are over 6,000 comments on Huggies’ Facebook post addressing the viral video. Many commenters are frustrated about customer service wait times, likely due to the influx of concerned parents reaching out. Others share personal experiences of rashes in their children after using these wipes, and it’s worth noting that sensitive skin can react differently.

Now, let’s be real—if these were actual shards of glass, we’d be hearing about injuries everywhere, and Huggies would have pulled them off the shelves immediately. The truth is, there is no glass in these wipes. However, the damage to public perception has already been done.

Interestingly, a user on Instagram pointed out that sodium methylparaben, a chemical preservative, is listed as the fourth ingredient in Huggies Natural Care Wipes. This can be concerning for parents who are seeking “natural” products. If there’s an ingredient causing this shiny appearance that could potentially irritate children, it deserves further investigation. But sharing alarming videos about “glass shards” doesn’t really help anyone.

Sarah has even mentioned on her Facebook page that she plans to file a lawsuit, stating, “They just called me back asking me to send ALL MY WIPES BACK. I said I’ll send you a sample but I’ll need the rest for evidence!!!!” It’s a wild ride, isn’t it?
