Kneipp Initiates Product Recall for Aroma-Shower Devices
In a recent development, Kneipp, a well-known German company based in Würzburg, has announced a recall of several batches of its popular Aroma Care Shower Gel. The recall is due to the presence of the bacterium Burkholderia cepacia in certain batches, identified as 2506917, 2506918, and 2506919. These batches can be identified by the batch code found on the top of the 200ml tubes.
The affected product is the Aroma Care Shower Gel Joy of Life. While the product is generally safe for people without pre-existing health conditions, individuals with weakened immune systems may be at risk of infections from Burkholderia cepacia. As a precaution, Kneipp advises against using the affected batches.
The company promptly stopped the sale and distribution of the affected batches in cooperation with retailers. Consumers are encouraged to return the affected shower gels to the point of purchase for a refund.
The bacterium Burkholderia cepacia was detected during standard quality control checks. The company's quick action to address the issue and protect consumers is commendable.
For further questions, Kneipp offers customer support via phone and email as detailed in the recall announcement. It's essential for consumers to stay informed and follow the company's guidelines to ensure their safety.
