China Gel Inc. is recalling 136,219 units of various topical pain relief products, including China-Gel, China-Gel White, and Aulief, after they were manufactured in a facility where B. cepacia bacteria was found in other products. These products come in various sizes ranging from 2-ounce tubes to 128-ounce gallon containers and were distributed nationwide and internationally. This recall was initiated as a precaution because the manufacturing process did not meet safety standards, and consumers are advised to stop using these products immediately to avoid potential infection.
The products were manufactured in a facility with known contamination of Burkholderia cepacia (B. cepacia), a bacteria that can cause serious infections in people with weakened immune systems or chronic lung diseases.
