Due to the presence of the bacterium Pluralibacter gergoviae, Babyganics is voluntarily recalling two lots of 20-ounce bottles of Babyganics® 20oz chamomile verbena bubble bath.
The bacteria was detected in two specific lot numbers of this product during internal testing linked to storage time across the Lead to additional bath line, according to the recall notice. "While newborns are more sensitive than adults, Pluralibacter gergoviae rarely causes illness in healthy people."
While Pluralibacter gergoviae does not provide a concern to healthy people, it can pose a risk to those who are immunocompromised or have cracked or irritated skin, such as children with diaper rash, according to the business.
As per San Francisco-based company's website, internal testing indicated that the items included the Pluralibacter gergoviae bacteria, which may be found naturally in the environment in plants, soil, and coffee beans. The bacterium will not usually make a healthy person sick, but it can infect one who is immunocompromised or has injured or irritable skin.here are no reported injuries.
Babyganics® 20oz chamomile verbena bubble bath UPC 8 13277 01375 4 with lot codes Y314 and Y315 located at the bottom of the packaging and enclosed in a white plastic container with a green plastic cap are the only products affected. Only a few merchants in the United States sold the products in the last two months. No additional Babyganics products were found to contain this bacteria, according to our tests.
Although no illnesses have been reported, the company says it is keeping a close eye on the situation and will do so in the future.
This recall appears to come less than a month after specific lots of Jergens Ultra Healing Moisturizer were also recalled due to the possibility of Pluralibacter gergoviae contamination. There was no indication that the two recalls were connected at the time.
Babyganics takes pride in its commitment to strict consumer safety standards and providing parents with peace of mind, which is why the company decided to voluntarily recover these bottles from retailers and reach out to consumers.
Those who have come into touch with the contaminated product and are experiencing symptoms should see a doctor. The Babyganics health and safety team is available 24 hours a day at 833-359-6304.
After submitting their product and contact information to babyganicsbubblebathrecall.com, consumers with the affected product will receive a full refund. This website will also provide consumers with instructions on how to properly dispose of the product.
