Huggies investigating glass claims in baby wipes
After claims that glass shards were found in their baby wipes, Huggies is investigating the claims.

Huggies is looking into reports about possible glass found in its baby wipes.

The company started investigating after a mother in Guam posted a video online showing what's believed to be tiny shards of glass.

Other parents soon posted video to social media showing the shiny residue.

A spokesman for Huggies says it might be melted fibers, but they won't know for sure until the wipes are thoroughly evaluated.

Huggies released a statement on their Facebook page saying: "Hello Huggies Parents, As some of you may have heard, a concern about our wipes was raised recently on Facebook. We take any concerns about our products very seriously and we are working directly with this parent to learn more about what happened and how we can help.
