A product marked with lot number 1G27542266 and UPC code 7501438375850 has been recalled due to contamination concerns. Authorities issued a health alert after identifying a potential safety risk linked to this item. Consumers are urged to pay close attention to this recall and take necessary precautions.

The contamination involves the bacterium Klebsiella oxytoca, which is typically harmless when confined to the intestinal tract. However, if this bacterium spreads to the bloodstream or other areas of the body, it can cause serious infections. These infections include pneumonia and can be life-threatening.

Klebsiella oxytoca infections can be severe, with death rates estimated between 10 to 20 percent for affected individuals. The risk is especially high for people with weakened immune systems, such as the elderly, those undergoing medical treatments, or individuals with chronic illnesses. These groups are more vulnerable to complications from the infection.

Henkel, the manufacturer of the product, has emphasized that no injuries or illnesses have been reported to date. Nevertheless, they are taking precautionary steps by initiating a recall to ensure consumer safety. This proactive approach reflects the company’s commitment to public health.

The recall is classified as Class II, indicating that while serious health problems are unlikely, they remain possible. This classification calls for prompt consumer attention but does not constitute an emergency. It signals that users should discontinue use and return the product as a safety measure.

Consumers who have the recalled product are strongly advised to stop using it immediately and return it to the purchase location for a full refund. Anyone who has used the item and experiences symptoms or health concerns should seek medical advice promptly. Taking these steps helps prevent potential illness and protects the community.
