@Cassie it's a chemical that is difficult to break down and it's known to cause health issues
Helpful info from the Reddit sub-thread on parenting: “I was very disappointed to see this, as we have been using these wipes for our little one. I decided to do some research on alternatives and figure out just how much PFAS these Kirkland Wipes have and how that compares to other household products. Per this website the Kirkland wipes have 3.7 parts per billion PFAS. Per this publication (page 158) from the Washington State Department of Ecology, pre-treated carpeting contains 57.2 µg/kg PFCA (a subset of PFAS), which converts to 57.2 parts per billion. My child crawls on carpet daily and I don't think twice about it. Based on the numbers above, I won't lose any sleep over using these wipes on my baby. Moving forward, I will finish our box of Kirkland wipes and attempt to find an alternative with less PFAS. We're all trying to do what's best for our babies and I hope these numbers help to bring peace to other parents.”
