German company Henkel recalled over 1,000 bottles of their shampoo brand Tec Italy Totale Shampoo because of fears of possible contamination with Klebsiella oxytoca, a potentially d3adly bacteria that can lead to infection of the eyes, skin, and nose.
Henkel concerned that it had disrupted the shampoo in New York and California but it may have accessed additional states.
Tec Italy is available for online purchase to customers from Europe.
According to a release by the manufacturer, the recalled shampoo “is packaged in a green plastic 33.81 fluid ounce/1 liter bottle, marked with the lot number 1G27542266 on the side and the UPC code 7501438375850.”
Henkel further said that exposure to Klebsiella oxytoca can lead to health problems in humans, including eye, nose and skin infections, with “additional reactions for consumers with immune-compromised conditions,” as reported by Fox News.
