The Environmental Protection Agency instructed H-E-B to remove BioErase antimicrobial surface wipes from store shelves within 30 days, the grocer says in an amended lawsuit this month. It’s the latest twist in a dispute with the wipes’ Beaumont distributor.Patrick Danner /Staff
Disinfecting wipes sold by H-E-B are creating quite the mess.
Already mired in litigation over BioErase antimicrobial surface wipes distributed by a Beaumont partnership, H-E-B disclosed the Environmental Protection Agency instructed the grocery chain to remove the wipes from store shelves within 30 days.
The EPA requires cleaning products that make pesticidal or disinfection claims on their labeling, such as controlling bacteria or viruses, must be registered with the federal agency.

H-E-B has sued a Beaumont company that supplied it BioErasure antimicrobial surface wipes. Maverick International Ltd. is accused of delivering canisters late and far short of the number H-E-B ordered.Patrick Danner /Staff
As the coronavirus roared through Texas last spring, H-E-B sought out distributors of surface cleaning products to meet unprecedented demand from its customers.
H-E-B says it struck a deal in July with a Beaumont partnership to supply the San Antonio grocery chain hundreds of thousands of canisters of BioErase antimicrobial surface wipes.
The arrangement quickly deteriorated, however, with the grocer alleging Maverick International Ltd. failed to deliver the quantities ordered and missed deadlines.
