Skincare Company Voluntarily Recalling More Than 30 Products
Written by Tariq on September 16, 2025
DermaRite Industries, based in North Bergen, New Jersey, is voluntarily recalling more than 30 products “out of an abundance of caution” over potential microbial contamination identified as Burkholderia cepacia complex, according to a recent news release. B. cepacia may result in serious and life-threatening infections, especially if used by immunosuppressed individuals or by people attending to immunosuppressed individuals, the company said, adding “the infection could spread into the blood stream, potentially leading to life-threatening sepsis.” In healthy individuals with minor skin lesions, “the use of the product may result in local infections,” DermaRite said. DermaRite first initiated the recall in August with only handsoaps included in it.
The recalled products were distributed nationwide in the United States and in Puerto Rico. The FDA did not say which retailers sold the product, but said “DermaRite has notified its distributors and customers by e-mail to immediately examine available inventory and destroy all affected products in accordance with each facility’s process.” Customers will questions about the recall can contact Sedgwick at 888-943-5190 or via email at dermarite5186@sedgwick.com Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET.
