In the realm of household cleanliness and personal care, we often trust that the products we use are safe and effective. However, sometimes, even the most seemingly benign items can pose unexpected risks to our health. This is a stark reminder for all of us, especially those in the over-50s community who may be more susceptible to infections, to stay vigilant about the products we bring into our homes.
Recently, a popular cleanser has been the subject of an urgent recall, prompting consumers to take immediate action. The Nuage Ceramide Gentle Cleanser, packaged in a 250-millilitre bottle, has been found to contain an excessive level of aerobic mesophilic bacteria, according to a recall notice issued by Product Safety Australia.
The presence of such high levels of bacteria in a cleansing product is not just counterintuitive but also dangerous. It poses a significant risk of infection, as well as the potential for skin and eye irritation. Unfortunately, reports have already surfaced of users experiencing adverse reactions after using the contaminated lotion.
The recall affects those who have purchased the product from various retailers, including The Reject Shop, Amazon, The People’s Pharmacy, Waynes World, Silly Solly’s Maroochydore, Silly Solly’s Kawana, and Star Pharmacy – Bribie Community Pharmacy. If you have this cleanser in your home, it is crucial to heed the warning and stop using it immediately.
For those affected by this recall, you are entitled to a full refund. The product can be returned to the place of purchase to secure this refund. It’s important to take such recalls seriously and act promptly to protect your health and that of your family.
The company behind the cleanser, UK-based 151 Products Ltd, has provided an email address for further enquiries: info@151.co.uk. Customers are encouraged to reach out if they have any questions or concerns regarding the recall.
