Cosmetic Recalls and Alerts page, the FDA lists various scents of Scent Theory’s foaming hand soaps subject to the recall, which were called back over concerns the products are contaminated with Burkholderia cepacia.
Burkholderia cepacia is the name for a group or complex of bacteria that is often resistant to common antibiotics and can pose a risk for those with certain medical conditions or those who have a weakened immune system.
Four scents of the Scent Theory hand soap are subject to recall: Lemon Citrus, Vanilla Coconut, Fresh Lavender, and Eucalyptus Mint, all of which were sold in 11oz bottles.
