NORTH BERGEN, New Jersey — DermaRite Industries has recalled several of its soaps, cleansers, and additional products due to a microbial contamination called Burkholderia cepecia.

The New Jersey-based medical care and skin care products manufacturer says Burkholderia Cepacia Complex in the recalled products could result in serious and life-threatening infections.

Use of the products by immunocompromised individuals or those attending to them could lead to infection more likely to spread into the blood stream, leading to life-threatening sepsis. Use by healthy individuals with minor skin lesions is more likely to result in local infections.

So far, the company has not received any reports of adverse events related to the recall.

The company has notified its distributors and customers via email, asking them to check their products and to destroy any items mentioned in the recall.

The recalled products were distributed across the United States of America and Puerto Rico.
