DermaRite Nationwide Recall: Skincare Products May Contain Deadly Bacteria
DermaRite recalled four skincare products nationwide due to Burkholderia cepacia contamination, with no sickness reported as of Aug 9, FDA and company officials said.
- DermaRite Industries has initiated a voluntary recall of four over-the-counter skincare items distributed across the country after they were found to be contaminated with Burkholderia cepacia bacteria.
- The recall follows discovery that the bacterium can cause serious, potentially life-threatening infections, especially in immunocompromised individuals.
- The products affected—DermaKleen, DermaSarra, KleenFoam, and PeriGiene—were supplied throughout the U.S. and Puerto Rico and are designed to support individuals with weakened immune systems.
- The FDA warned that the presence of Burkholderia cepacia complex in these items could cause severe and potentially fatal infections, and encouraged individuals experiencing symptoms or with concerns to report them via MedWatch or to reach out to DermaRite directly.
- No adverse events have been reported to date, and DermaRite instructed distributors to destroy all recalled products following facility protocols to prevent health risks.
