Baby wipes being sold across New Zealand have been recalled after an audit found some of the product had been contaminated with mould.
Product Safety NZ said several batches of the Bunjie Peek-A-Boo Probiotic Baby Eye Wipes were believed to have been improperly sealed during manufacture, here in New Zealand.
This has resulted in airflow in and out of the packaging, which may result in internal or external mould growth.
If used on a baby鈥檚 eyes or face, the mould contaminated wipes pose a risk of injury or illness.
Bunjie informed the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, and Product Safety NZ is now assisting with the recall.
Advertised as 鈥渘ot your average baby wipe鈥, the prebiotic and probiotic wipes are sold at Chemist Warehouse nationwide, Baby Bunting New Zealand, and Bunjie鈥檚 online store.
Customers are being urged to immediately stop using the product and to contact Bunjie directly for a refund.

In a statement, Bunjie said they had 鈥渋dentified sporadic instances of mould growth on the external packaging鈥 of the wipes.
The brand said only a small proportion of products are affected, but the recall covers all wipes sold between December 1, 2024 and August 30, 2025.
鈥淲e know this is worrying and we sincerely apologise to anyone who鈥檚 been affected by this recall. Your little one鈥檚 health is our top priority, and we鈥檙e here to help in any way we can.鈥
Chemist Warehouse and Baby Bunting have been approached for comment.
