More herbal products that might be contaminated by deadly bacteria are recalled
For the second time in a week, WishGarden Herbs recalled a product — actually, two this time — on the possibility of Cronobacter sakazakii bacterial contamination.
The WishGarden-written, FDA-posted recall notice says the potential problem with Cord Care Powder and Goldenseal Powder, just as with previously recalled Happy Ducts Compress, is “a supply chain issue.”
“Use of these products, when contaminated with this bacteria, may cause serious infections with severe outcomes, including death, especially in vulnerable patients with compromised immune systems and infants.”
Both Cord Care and Goldenseal powders come in 1-ounce containers and are rubbed on the skin.
The recalled Cord Care Powder, used to dry umbilical cords, has lot Nos. P227 through P235 and carry UPC No. 6-56490-24730-4.
Recalled Goldenseal Powder has lot Nos. P116 through P120 and UPC No. 6-56490-64137-9.
