Midlab Incorporated is recalling several brands of antibacterial hand soap, including MAXIM Assure, Boardwalk, Array, ROYALAB, Genuine Joe, and Compliance, because they failed microbiological safety tests. These products contain the active ingredient Chloroxylenol (also known as PCMX) at a 0.1% concentration and were sold in one-gallon containers primarily for industrial and institutional use. The recall was initiated due to deviations from Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) standards, resulting in products that were "out of specification" for microbial limits.
The use of hand soaps contaminated with microorganisms can lead to skin or soft tissue infections. Individuals with weakened immune systems or broken skin are at a higher risk of developing more serious health complications if exposed to these contaminated products.
