DermaRite recalls soap products over risk of potentially deadly sepsis infection
A variety of soaps and cleaning supplies made by DermaRite Industries have been voluntarily recalled because of contamination that could result in potentially fatal sepsis infections.
Certain analgesics and antiseptic soaps marketed under the names DermaKleen, Dermasarra, Kleenfoam, and Perigiene are subject to the recall.
Burkholderia cepecia, a bacterium that can cause potentially fatal illnesses in humans, may have contaminated the items, according to DermaRite. The danger varies from potentially fatal sepsis in immunocompromised patients, when an infection may spread through the bloodstream, to local infections in situations of skin lesions.
On the DermaRite website, you can find a complete list of the recalled items.
Customers are being asked by DermaRite to dispose of any products that might be recalled.
According to DermaRite, no illnesses linked to the tainted items have been reported.
The FDA, which is aware of the recall, has a reporting line in place to collect data regarding any potential negative health impacts linked to using the recalled products.
