Facial cleanser sold at The Reject Shop and Australian pharmacies recalled over risk of skin infection
A facial cleanser sold in Australian pharmacies, discount stores, and on online at Amazon, has been recalled over excessive levels of bacteria in the affected products.
The amount of aerobic mesophilic bacteria found in the affected batches of Nuagé Ceramide Gentle Cleanser could cause skin and eye irritation, and infections, especially if consumers have any cuts or wounds where the lotion is applied.
“Incidents have occurred,” the Product Safety recall said.
