Walmart Product Recall Covers Louisiana and Texas

Walmart has announced they are expanding their previous recall of several DermaRite products, now spread across 14 states including Louisiana and Texas.

The reason behind the recall is because of a possible contamination of a bacteria called Burkholderia cepacia.

This bacteria is normally harmless to most people, but is know to cause serious health issues for others including sepsis.

From newsweek.com -

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and DermaRite say the contamination could lead to local infections in otherwise healthy users with broken skin and to bloodstream infections, or deadly sepsis in immunocompromised patients—outcomes that may require hospitalization and carry substantial risk.
