A New Jersey-based medical supply store and skin care products manufacturer is voluntarily recalling several hand soaps, cleansers, and antiseptics due to possible contamination of a dangerous bacteria.
The dangerous bacteria could potentially lead to “life-threatening sepsis.”
“DermaRite Industries LLC issued a voluntary recall of four hand soaps that they sell nationwide after a bacterium called Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) was detected,” NBC News stated.

NBC News has more:
On August 9, the Food and Drug Administration published an announcement explaining that DermaRite Industries LLC had issued a recall of four products. The reason given was that a dangerous bacterium was discovered during testing.
Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) was the bacterium that was detected in batches of four different products produced by DermaRite that were distributed across the United States and Puerto Rico. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) says that Bcc is a group of bacteria most commonly found in dirt and soil. It can spread between people and cause lung infections. Those with compromised immune systems are particularly at risk when they come into contact with Bcc. The good news: DermaRite Industries says they have not received any reports of illness.
