Agency Publication Date: September 23, 2024

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Approximately 1,649 units of Good Vibrations, JorVet, and SpecClean Ultrasonic Cleaner Solutions are being recalled due to the presence of harmful bacteria including Klebsiella oxytoca and Enterobacter species. Contaminated equipment and packaging caused the detergent to become tainted, leading to product bloating or leaking. These solutions are used to clean medical and dental instruments; if used during procedures, they can cause serious infections, and workers handling the containers are also at risk. These products were distributed nationwide in the U.S. and in Canada between August 2023 and August 2024.

Risk

The cleaning solution is contaminated with pathogenic bacteria that can cause urinary tract, respiratory, and bloodstream infections in patients if used on medical or dental instruments. Additionally, the bacteria cause the product packaging to bloat and leak, posing an infection risk to healthcare workers who handle the contaminated bottles or instruments.
