The company noted that the manufacturing process can occasionally create "a shiny particle similar to what was found by this consumer" as a result of a blending of fibers.

A Palm Coast, Florida woman had posted a video on a social media site telling about finding glass and, according to a Jacksonville, Florida news site, it had gotten at least 16 million hits by this morning. A Los Angeles television station reported that a woman from Camarillo, California had also found glass in the wipes.
