Used Recalled Baby Wipes And Was Hospitalized With A Moderate Infection [location: Houston Texas]

Card image cap

sorry if this isn’t the right place to ask, Location: Houston texas

I live in Houston TX, Earlier this month, I bought a pack of Target Up & Up baby wipes. I brought them home and used them that exact same day. The literal second I used it, my whole body jumped up from how bad it hurt. It was this awful, sudden spike of physical pain.

over the next few hours, i started freaking out, I couldn’t pee for the life of me, my back started hurting, I drank three entire bottles of water trying to force myself to go, but nothing happened, so I panicked and went to the ER. They told me I had a moderate infection, hooked me up to IV antibiotics right there, and gave me prescription antibiotics,

I just found out today that Target literally just recalled these exact wipes (the Up & Up ones) because the FDA found out they were contaminated with Burkholderia? causes massive infections. It perfectly matches what happened to me. Like that day I went to target and bought a 3 pack of the cucumber scented wipes

Here is my issue, and why I feel stupid, in the panic of going to the hospital and being sick, I threw the wipe container in the trash, and I don't have the paper receipt anymore. I do know the exact Houston Target location, the date, and the time I bought them, and I obviously have the ER hospital bills and pharmacy records.

Is it even worth trying to talk to a lawyer about this, or am I totally screwed because I threw away the package and the receipt?

Any honest advice would be amazing. Thank you so much.
