Don't Put This Lotion on Your Skin

The first recall I have to tell you about is for Jergens Ultra Healing Moisturizer. I am quite familiar with this product since I literally have the bottle listed on the recall. You'll need to look for the code on the bottom of the bottle. If it starts with  "ZU" you will probably need to throw it away.

Reason For The Recall

The Lotion could show the presence of Pluralibacter gergoviae, a bacterium which typically poses little medical risk to healthy people. However, people who have certain health problems such as weakened immune systems may be more susceptible to infections. Kao USA is urging consumers to discontinue use of the recalled lotion specified below as a precautionary measure.
