Walmart has had to remove a number of concerning products from stores recently.
Walmart often has to remove products from shelves for one reason or another. In early April, the company chose to stop selling fake service dogs vests and other paraphernalia after receiving complaints. More recently, the retailer was impacted by a major recall of more than 120,800 pounds of ground beef products. While other stores were also affected, the recalled ground beef products were sold at a number of Walmart locations across a total of 17 states.
"Walmart and Sam's Club are committed to the health and safety of our customers and members and to providing products that are safe and compliant, all supported by our health and wellness, product safety, and food safety professionals," the company states on its website.

Shoppers have taken to social media over an issue with one of the retailer's products.
Now, Walmart is back in the spotlight for concerns over a different product. On a number of online websites and social media platforms, shoppers are claiming that Parent's Choice baby wipes, sold under Walmart's own baby brand, have been leaving behind strange colors on people's skin, as well as causing skin irritation.
"I used these on my face and neck and now I have a burning rash all over my neck and face," one shopper posted on Top Class Actions. Another customer, who says they've been using these same wipes for years, claimed they started noticing "strange dark brown staining" on their son toward the end of April.
"Every time I'd wipe him there would be burnt orange marks on the wipe. Bathing didn't get rid of it, only hard scrubbing got some of it off, but that's not something you want to have to do to a baby," they posted on Top Class Actions. "I've been using them for years, and I didn't see how they would cause a residue on his skin. It's very upsetting Walmart hasn't made an official statement on it, and I would like to know what exactly the residue is."
Walmart has removed some of these wipes from stores.
Walmart has removed some of these wipes from stores. The retailer has pulled at least 18 lots of Parent's Choice baby wipes from shelves "due to a quality issue," the Miami Herald reported on May 4.ae0fcc31ae342fd3a1346ebb1f342fcb
Walmart did not elaborate on the reason behind the removal, other than noting that the removal was a proactive measure. "We are working closely with the supplier and FDA to investigate the issue," the company said in a statement to the newspaper. "Customers may return the product to any Walmart store for a refund."

But the retailer says claims the wipes were recalled for toxic contamination are not true.
Shopper complaints involving the baby wipes did not stop at alleged reports of odd-colored stains and skin irritation, however. During a recent online forum hosted by the Baby Center, one shopper claimed the wipes were leaving behind a burning orange color due to "exposure of metals like arsenic and mercury."
But this claim is "entirely unconfirmed," according to Snopes, who says that there have been no confirmed reports of toxic metal contamination with the wipes. "The arsenic and mercury rumors did not originate with a reliable source," Snopes added.
The company itself has denied rumors of a massive recall on Parent's Choice wipes related to toxic metal contamination. "Any information provided that the product was recalled due to arsenic or mercury is false," Walmart said in a response to a Twitter user on May 5.
Some shoppers claim that their Walmart is still selling wipes that have been recalled.
Despite the concern from shoppers and the small recall, some Facebook users claim that Walmart is still selling the offending wipes. "Just an FYI to anyone using Parents Choice wipes…. the Rochester Walmart still has recalled wipes on the shelves , "Isang gumagamit ang nai -post noong Mayo 6.
Ang isa pang gumagamit ng Facebook ay nagsabi na ang Walmart sa Connellsville, Pennsylvania, ay Nagbebenta pa rin Ang naalala na mga wipe. "Ipinaalam ko sa isang empleyado, ngunit sinabi niya sa akin na karaniwang responsibilidad ng manager," sabi ng gumagamit, kasama ang mga larawan ng mga wipe ng sanggol at ang kanilang mga numero.
