Consumer Warning Issued: Discard All Clarcon Skin Products
June 11, 2009 by admin · Leave a Comment
Clarcon Biological Chemistry Laboratory Inc. of Roy, Utah, is voluntarily recalling skin sanitizers and skin protectants sold under several brand names because the products may be contaminated with bacteria that could make users sick, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said.
The agency issued a news release warning consumers to refrain from using all products made by the company. It said an analysis of several samples revealed disease-causing bacteria, some of which are associated with unsanitary conditions. The germs could cause dangerous infections of the skin and underlying tissue, the FDA added.
The products — promoted in some cases as antimicrobial agents that can prevent infection in open wounds — should not be used and be disposed of in the household trash, the agency said. A partial list of affected products includes:
Citrushield Lotion
Dermasentials DermaBarrier
Dermassentials by Clarcon Antimicrobial Hand Sanitizer
Iron Fist Barrier Hand Treatment
Skin Shield Restaurant
Skin Shield Industrial
Skin Shield Beauty Salon Lotion
Total Skin Care Beauty
Total Skin Care Work
To report adverse events associated with these or other consumer products, contact the FDA’S MedWatch reporting program at 1-800-FDA-1088.
