Petra Hygienic Systems is recalling 58 cases of ATHLETICARE Anti-Bacterial Hand Soap AC 550 because it contains triclosan, an ingredient that is no longer permitted in over-the-counter antibacterial wash products. The recall affects all lots of the 4-liter (1.1 US gallon) bottles, which were distributed nationwide in the United States. Consumers who have this soap should stop using it immediately and contact their healthcare provider or pharmacist for guidance on alternative products.
The product contains triclosan, which is no longer recognized as safe and effective by the FDA for consumer antiseptic washes. Using products with prohibited ingredients means the product does not meet federal safety and effectiveness standards.
Contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist for guidance. Return any unused product to the pharmacy for a refund
