Antibacterial Hand lotions full of bacteria?

The Food and Drug Administration warned consumers Monday not to use skin products made by Clarcon because of high levels of disease-causing bacteria found during a recent inspection.

Clarcon Biological Chemistry Laboratory Inc. of Roy, Utah, issued a voluntary recall of some skin sanitizers and skin protectants marketed under several different brand names, the FDA said in a statement.
Consumers should not use any Clarcon products and should throw them away, the FDA said.


Analyses of several samples of over-the-counter topical antimicrobial skin sanitizer and skin protectant products revealed high levels of various bacteria, including some associated with unsanitary conditions, according to the agency. Some of these bacteria can cause opportunistic infections of the skin and underlying tissues and could result in medical or surgical attention as well as permanent damage.

I guess I'm safe. I have Bath & Body Works.
But that is scary about any "safe" products we may be purchasing.

Re: Antibacterial Hand lotions full of bacteria?

OK, wait a minute. We have a hand sanitizer full of alcohol (62%) which kills bacteria. How in the world does the bacteria survive in that environment? I thought that the bacteria was found in factory, not the actual product?

In the product. Apparently, that particular product isn't very good at its job!

They are recalling the products. Some sanitizers rely on other agents than alcohol and apparently this particular "stuff" was full of bacteria.

Maybe they were following the Homeopathic thought process that says in order to combat something big, give them a little of the same thing... except they goofed up the quantity.
