Sunstar is recalling its Perioshield oral rinse product due to possible contamination with harmful bacteria. This could lead to infections or health issues, especially for people with weakened immune systems or existing dental conditions.
The rinse may contain harmful bacteria, Burkholderia cepacia and/or Burkholderia contaminans, which can cause infections. These bacteria are typically found in soil and water, but contamination in the rinse product poses a health risk if ingested.
People who own or use the recalled Perioshield oral rinse (SKU 1775P or 1775R) with specific lot numbers are affected. Those with compromised immune systems or dental issues may be at higher risk.
Check the SKU number on the product label: 1775P or 1775R. Look for specific lot numbers listed: 01U, 02U, 03U, 01Z, 02Z, 03Z, 04Z, 05Z, 01A, 02A, 01B, 02B, 3B.
Identify your SKU number (1775P or 1775R) and lot numbers to confirm if the product is recalled.
The recall states the product may be contaminated with harmful bacteria, so it is not recommended for use until confirmed safe.
Check your SKU and lot numbers to see if it's affected. If it is, stop using it and contact Sunstar for further instructions.
The recall record does not mention a replacement or remedy, so contact Sunstar directly for assistance.
