| A baby girl suffered chemical burns after her mother used a fake baby wipe |
A BRITISH mum was horrified when her six-month-old daughter suffered chemical burns - from a wet wipe.
Galina Kadokhova rushed her six-month-old baby daughter Rita to hospital screaming in agony after going through the nappy routine with what she believed were Pampers wet wipes.
The tiny tot was began uncontrollably screaming after her mother wiped her bottom, and just moments later her skin began to blister.
Galina had bought the wipes from Dixi, her local supermarket chain.
After rushing her daughter to the hospital, and Rita receiving treatment for burn injuries, the angry mother complained to health inspectors about the product.

Speaking about the ordeal, she said: "A doctor has told me it looked like a chemical burn, they even told me it could still get worse and my baby could even die. I was terrified."
My baby could not sleep and she was crying all the time but now thank goodness she is getting better.
"After examining the product herself, Galina noticed there was no sell-by date stamped on the goods.
"For this reason she believes they may have been counterfeit.
In Russia, there is said to be a problem with fake goods being passed off as real branded products - especially now that there is an embargo on many products from the West.
Each day, customs destroy hundreds of tonnes of goods that have been illegally smuggled into the country.
Experts have promised to do a fast analysis of the product to find out the reason why it caused burns to baby Rita.
