Kao USA Inc. has issued a voluntary recall for certain Jergens Ultra Healing Moisturizer 3 oz and 10 oz products.
Select units of Jergens Ultra Healing Moisturizer could contain Pluralibacter gergoviae, a bacterium which typically poses little medical risk to healthy people. However, people who have certain health problems such as weakened immune systems may be more susceptible to infections.
Kao USA is urging consumers to discontinue use of the recalled lotion as a precautionary measure.
The company promptly took the precautionary step of issuing a voluntary recall of the affected product by removing the product in question from warehouses, working with retailers to ensure the product is removed from store shelves, and proactively notifying consumers.
The amount of recalled product is limited to two sizes offered for Jergens Ultra Healing Moisturizer. Only specific lots of the 3 oz and 10 oz sizes are affected.
Kao USA Inc. has informed regulatory authorities of the issue and says it is working with its partners on improved cleaning and sanitization practices so that similar issues can be prevented in the future.
Anyone who has product from a recalled lot should contact the Kao USA Inc. Consumer Care Center for a free product coupon.
