Over 1,000 bottles of shampoo are being recalled in the United States after the manufacturer identified a potential contamination with bacteria that could cause serious infections. The Tec Italy Shampoo Totale bottles were distributed through New York and California but might have reached other states, according to Henkel, the parent company based in Germany. This recall, issued by Henkel’s Mexico branch, affects 1,068 bottles. The bacteria in question is Klebsiella oxytoca, typically found in the gut. However, exposure outside the intestines can lead to eye, nose, and skin infections, particularly in medical settings. Individuals with weakened immune systems are at higher risk. So far, no health issues have been reported. The contamination was detected during a microbiological analysis. Consumers experiencing symptoms or having medical concerns should consult a physician immediately. The recalled shampoo comes in green 1-litre plastic bottles with the Universal Product Code (UPC) 7501438375850. European consumers can purchase Tec Italy products online. — news from Euronews
