What's in paper towels?

Is there anything in paper towels beside paper? I heard some also contain shards of fiber glass? I cut my lip using one to wipe my face, and my lip is swelling a bit. Wondering why that's the case if it's just paper?

Update:

I threw away the packaging awhile ago, but I don't use them much so I typically buy a cheap brand, like the Wal-Mart brand.

    I guess it's possible. It really depends on what brand you used, that would help a bit more.
