Hand soap recalled over sepsis concerns: See where it was sold

Handsoap is being recalled after the presence of a potentially deadly bacteria was discovered in some of the product, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service is reporting.

DermaRite Industries, based in North Bergen, New Jersey, is voluntarily recalling some of its soap after the company tested the wipes and found a bacteria called Burkholderia cepacia (B. cepacia) in some of the products, according to a news release .

B. cepacia may result in serious and life-threatening infections.

The affected products may be used by people with compromised immune systems – or even people attending to them including health care workers or family members.

In healthy individuals with cuts, using the contaminated soap will more likely result in local infections, wher
