Nationwide Hand Soap Recall Due to Bacterial Contamination and Sepsis Risk

DermaRite Industries has voluntarily recalled multiple lots of hand soap and lotion products distributed across the U.S. and Puerto Rico due to contamination with Burkholderia cepacia bacteria, which can cause life-threatening sepsis in immunocompromised individuals. The company has not reported any adverse events yet, but consumers are advised to check affected lot numbers and destroy any contaminated products, especially if they are immunocompromised.
