The company quickly denied reports of glass in Huggies baby wipes in an official statement:

No, we do not use glass in the manufacture of our wipes.  Generally speaking, we make our product by combining a blend of fibers. Rarely, but on occasion, when those fibers combine together while being formed, they create a shiny particle, similar to what was found by this consumer.

Huggies said that no injuries had been reported, and its wipes were safe to use. The company did add, however, that it was investigating the original complaint and engaging with other parents who had voiced concerns.
A spokesperson for the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said via Twitter that the commission was “looking into reports of glass in baby wipes.”
Consumers can file complaints about Huggies baby wipes at safeproducts.gov.
