Spartan Chemical Co Inc: Hand Sanitizers and Cleaners Recalled for Bacterial Contamination

Agency Publication Date: April 15, 2021

Summary

Approximately 50,084 units of Spartan Chemical hand sanitizers and antiseptic cleaners have been recalled due to microbial contamination and manufacturing quality deviations. One specific lot of Lite'n Foamy Lemon Blossom Hand Sanitizer tested positive for Burkholderia multivorans, a bacterium that can cause serious infections. These products were sold in various sizes ranging from 18-ounce pump bottles to 1-gallon containers for institutional and industrial use throughout the United States, Puerto Rico, and Mexico. Consumers should stop using these products immediately and follow the specific instructions for return or disposal.

Risk

The product may contain Burkholderia multivorans, a bacterium that poses a significant risk of infection, especially to individuals with weakened immune systems or chronic lung diseases like cystic fibrosis.
