Specialty Shampoo Recalled in US and Canada

Several specialty shampoos have been recalled in the United States and Canada due to potential contamination with harmful bacteria. The recall affects specific batches of products that were found to contain Burkholderia cepacia, a bacteria that can pose serious health risks, particularly to individuals with weakened immune systems or underlying lung conditions.

The affected products include various brands of shampoo sold in both retail and online stores. Consumers are advised to check their cabinets for these products and discontinue use immediately if they possess any of the recalled items. The companies involved are cooperating with health officials to ensure consumer safety and to facilitate the return of these products.

Health authorities recommend that those who have used the recalled shampoos and experience symptoms such as fever, cough, or shortness of breath should seek medical attention promptly.
