00:00In the past few years, especially during the pandemic,
00:06it has become a part of the basic necessities of many people.
00:11Wet wipes for cleaning and wiping.
00:16It's easier to use because it comes with disinfectant or alcohol.
00:22Wet wipes.
00:24The public school teacher and her mother, Carla,
00:27can't live without wet wipes in her bag.
00:31It's essential in the household.
00:32If there's a spider, just throw it away.
00:36Wipe it. Wipe it.
00:37But what she didn't fully expect,
00:40was that because she wiped the wet wipes on her son, Ryo,
00:47his nose and mouth were infected.
00:51He can't eat.
00:52He can't open his mouth.
00:56I was really guilty.
00:57Because of the 179 pesos that I saved,
01:01I reached a point where I could risk my life.
01:07Wait, wait, wait.
01:09Is it really possible that this happened just because of wet wipes?
01:14Carla used this brand for the first time.
01:18She ordered it online.
01:20I was shocked because I was looking for another brand
01:23to replace the brand that we use.
01:26Ryo, what are you doing?
01:27Wiping your toy?
01:29They claim that this is 100% good for the sensitive skin,
01:34that it's good for the hands, the face, and the babies.
01:38She bought it in 5 packs.
01:40It's very cheap.
01:41There are a lot of good reviews because that's what I'm looking for.
01:44She uses it all around.
01:46She also uses it on her children, Drix and Ryo.
01:54She uses it on her wives when she washes her hands.
01:57But when Drix used it, the child noticed.
02:01Suddenly, there was irritation.
02:03Because we're together, we're like a family.
02:07Until this January 22, Ryo sold her toy.
02:11She was at home with her grandmother.
02:13I didn't tell her not to use the wipes.
02:16She used almost half of it.
02:19She was crying because the wipes were so red.
02:23She also had a fever at that time.
02:26It was like a burn.
02:27I didn't know what to do.
02:29I didn't know what to do.
02:31I didn't know what to do.
02:33She also had a fever at that time.
02:35It was like a burn.
02:36She didn't want to open her mouth.
02:44She also didn't talk.
02:45Usually, she's loud.
02:47That's why they immediately took Ryo to the hospital.
02:51And they found out that the child had
02:54Contact Dermatitis, secondary to using wet wipes.
02:59We asked the doctor to give us a prescription
03:02to ease the inflammation.
03:05Because she had a hard time.
03:06We lost a lot because of the cheap things I bought.
03:11I was really guilty because why did I change my brand?
03:14Because of the 179 pesos that I saved,
03:17I reached a point where I could risk my life.
03:25She immediately contacted the person who bought it.
03:28Actually, they do apologize.
03:29They replied that they were asking for medical results.
03:34I got a medical certificate.
03:37They wanted a specific ingredient.
03:40The doctor said that it was in their wipes.
03:44We will take action regarding that in the investigation.
03:49I will still pay for that.
03:50I tested it.
03:51The seller can answer under Republic Act 7394
03:56or Consumer Act of the Philippines
03:58if it can be proven that the child has a connection to the baby wipes.
04:02We also tried to ask the seller,
04:05but they did not respond to our request.
04:08But according to our investigation,
04:10this brand is already registered with the FDA
04:14or Food and Drug Administration.
04:16After verification in our system,
04:18it was found that the product holds a valid certificate
04:21of product notification for a cosmetic product.
04:23Our records show that no reported adverse events case
04:27was filed with or received by the FDA on the product.
04:30But why did Drio have contact dermatitis?
04:34The chemical components of this product are passed to the FDA.
04:39It is very difficult to find a product that you are sure that you do not have an allergy.
04:44Because sometimes, one product has 10 ingredients.
04:48All of those substances can be an irritant
04:51or can be an allergy cause of contact dermatitis.
04:54For Drio, it is an irritant.
04:55Because within 24 hours,
04:57the manifestations appear immediately.
04:59It has a small puddle with a lot of water.
05:01Then it turns red, and it is itchy.
05:04Mostly, the preservatives and antimicrobial agents
05:09can cause itchiness, redness, or sensitivities to the skin.
05:14For Dr. Grace Beltran,
05:16what happened to Drio is an isolated case.
05:20There are people who are really different.
05:22Out of 1 million, you are the only one who has an allergy.
05:2498% no reaction, 2% will have a reaction.
05:27Rare, but they develop.
05:29That's why you can't say it's a bad product.
05:31Because if she's the only one who has a reaction,
05:32it really happens.
05:34It is not advisable to use a wet wipe on children's faces
05:38because the skin is thinner and more sensitive to this part.
05:43When we buy products,
05:45we use small amounts first,
05:47then we check if she has an allergy.
05:50If you just wipe it, there's already a sting.
05:52It's like it's swollen.
05:53Don't continue.
05:54Don't waste it.
05:55Because you'll spend more
05:57if you have a problem.
05:59No mother wants her child to get sick.
06:02To mothers like me,
06:04I hope it will be appreciated
06:07for what we use for our babies.
06:10Mothers, just remember
06:12before you buy and use products for your children,
06:16make sure they are safe and healthy
06:20so you don't have to wipe
06:24your tears.
06:42for our latest updates.
