Soap recall expands to 30 products from shampoo to deodorant and more: Here’s the list

A skincare company is recalling 30 products due to potential bacterial contamination.

DermaRite began recalling products in the summer and has expanded the list of recalled shampoos, soaps, creams and other cosmetics “out of an abundance of caution.”

The bacteria potentially in the products, called Burkholderia cepacia complex, could result in local infection but could create a life-threatening risk of sepsis for people who are immunocompromised, the company said in its August recall update.

“These products may result in serious and life-threatening infections if the products are used by immunosuppressed individuals or by people attending to immunosuppressed individuals,” the company said.

The company said it had asked customers and distributors to destroy any products on the list.

The list includes

  • 3-N-1 is a thick foaming, rinse-free, body wash, shampoo, and perineal cleanser. Enriched with Aloe Vera, it soothes and moisturizes fragile skin as it cleans.
  • 4-N-1 is a no rinse wash cream intended to temporarily protect and help relieve chafed or cracked skin
  • Clean-N-Free is a mild, rinse-free, body wash, shampoo, and perineal cleanser that cleans and refreshes without water. Perfect for bed-bound residents and patients.
  • DermaCerin is a skin protectant moisturizing cream indicated to temporarily protect and help relieve dry, chapped, or cracked skin. It also helps protect skin from the drying effects of wind and cold weather.
  • DemaDaily is a moisturizing lotion that soothes dry, sensitive skin.
  • DermaFungal is an OTC antifungal cream intended for the treatment and prevention of most athlete’s foot, jock itch, and ringworm. It relieves itching, scaling, cracking, and discomfort associated with these conditions.
