Cardinal Health labeled alcohol-free mouthwash
Hydrox Labs, Elgin, IL recalled Cardinal Health labeled alcohol-free mouthwash. As a result of this recall, Cardinal Health is initiating a voluntary sub recall of this lot of alcohol-free mouthwash. The mouthwash was tested, and certain samples were found positive for Burkholderia cepacia (B. cepacia). Product was distributed to hospitals, medical centers, and long term care facilities nationwide. B. cepacia poses little medical risk to healthy people. However, people who have certain health problems such as weakened immune systems or chronic lung diseases, particularly cystic fibrosis (CF) or on mechanical ventilators, may be more susceptible to infections with B. cepacia. B. cepacia is a known cause of infections in hospitalized patients. B. cepacia bacteria are often resistant to common antibiotics. The effects of B. cepacia on people vary widely, ranging from no symptoms at all, to serious respiratory infections, especially in patients with CF.
