Hand Soap Recall for Serious Bacterial Risk
DermaRite Industries, LLC has voluntarily recalled several hand soap products.
Tests showed contamination with Burkholderia cepacia, a dangerous bacteria.
This recall is important because the bacteria can cause serious health problems for people with weak immune systems.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, infections from B. cepacia can be life-threatening.
Understanding Burkholderia Cepacia
Burkholderia cepacia, also called Bcc, is a group of bacteria that can spread in healthcare settings.
While healthy people may only get mild skin infections, the risk is much higher for vulnerable patients.
In these cases, the infection can spread quickly to the bloodstream, leading to sepsis.
So far, no illnesses connected to this recall have been reported.

These over-the-counter (OTC) products are part of the recall:
-
DermaKleen – Antiseptic lotion soap with Vitamin E to reduce bacteria on the skin.
-

-
