Nationwide Hand Soap Recall Due to Bacterial Contamination and Sepsis Risk
Four brands of hand soaps and skin products are being recalled nationwide in the US due to contamination with bacteria Burkholderia cepacia, which can cause infections and sepsis, especially in immunosuppressed individuals. The products, including DermaKleen, KleenFoam, DermaSarra, and PeriGiene, are available online and possibly in public facilities, with no reported adverse events so far. Consumers are advised to contact the company for questions.
