Advertisements

Henkel Capital S.A. de C.V. has announced a voluntary recall of 1,068 units of its Tec Italy Shampoo Totale after microbiological testing detected contamination with Klebsiella oxytoca, a bacterium that can cause infections in the eyes, nose, and skin. The affected shampoo, distributed in the United States primarily through distributors in New York and California, may also have reached other states and was sold at the retail level. Consumers with compromised immune systems are particularly vulnerable to potential adverse reactions.
