Inopak Ltd: Antibacterial Hand Soaps Recalled for Potential Bacterial Contamination

Agency Publication Date: October 4, 2017

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Inopak Ltd is recalling several brands of antibacterial hand soap, including Option Systems, Style, Mild Healthcare, and Choice, because they may have been contaminated with bacteria from a faulty manufacturing pump. These soaps were sold in various sizes ranging from 8-ounce bottles to 1-gallon containers and were distributed nationwide. Using contaminated soap can cause serious skin or systemic infections, especially in people with weakened immune systems or when used on broken skin. No injuries have been reported, but consumers should stop using these products immediately and contact a healthcare provider if they have health concerns. Unused soap can be returned to the place of purchase for a refund.

Risk

A contaminated diaphragm pump used in the manufacturing facility may have introduced harmful bacteria into the soap products. If these bacteria enter the body through broken skin or are used by vulnerable individuals, they can cause infections that may require medical treatment.
