Nationwide Hand Soap Recall Over Bacterial Contamination Linked to Sepsis
DermaRite Industries has voluntarily recalled several lots of hand soap and lotion products distributed across the US and Puerto Rico due to contamination with Burkholderia cepacia bacteria, which can cause life-threatening sepsis in immunocompromised individuals. No adverse events have been reported yet, but consumers are advised to check affected lot numbers, destroy the products, and consult a healthcare provider if they experience symptoms.
