Recalled items include body washes, lotions, soaps, shampoos, sanitizers and wound cleansers sold nationwide and in Puerto Rico
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 17, 2025 (HealthDay News) — DermaRite Industries has widened its earlier recall of hand soaps to include 32 personal care products that could be contaminated with a dangerous bacteria, health officials report.
The New Jersey-based company said the recalled items include body washes, lotions, soaps, shampoos, sanitizers and wound cleansers sold nationwide and in Puerto Rico.
The products are often used in hospitals and nursing homes, but some are also sold by other retailers.
The bacteria in question, Burkholderia cepacia complex, can cause serious and sometimes life-threatening infections in people with weakened immune systems or those caring for them, according to the company.
Even generally healthy people could develop infections if they have cuts or skin lesions.
The voluntary recall does not affect DermaRite’s nutritional products, the company said.
Customers should stop using the recalled products immediately and return them.
