UKHSA and MHRA are urging the public not to use 4 specified non-sterile alcohol-free wipe products due to the risk of infection associated with their use.
Following on from the recent news and publication from the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), we wanted to reassure our customers with our Company guidance about the supply of non-sterile alcohol-free wipes.
On 5 February 2026, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) republished its guidance of 4 August 2025 regarding an outbreak of Burkholderia stabilis infections in the UK, which was linked to the use of non-sterile alcohol-free wipes.
Understandably this has caused concern, so we wanted to provide some reassurance and guidance as you may have similar products on site, or be unsure as to what products are affected.
If you have purchased first aid wipes from any other supplier we recommend you check the brand of wipe provided, the affected ones listed below -
