Hand Soaps Recalled for Risk of Bacterial Contamination

In June 2026, the FDA and Intercon Chemical Co. of St. Louis, Missouri, announced a voluntary recall for 6 foaming and liquid hand soap products due to a risk of bacterial contamination. The FDA upgraded this action to a Class II recall in September 2026.

What Hand Soaps Were Recalled?

The recall involves 2,600 boxes of products that were shipped to 20 companies, 19 wholesalers and 1 retailer, across 15 states, including Texas. These products include:

• Intercon Foaming Pear Hand Soap With Aloe, 28.7 fl. oz.
• Clearly Better by Intercon Foaming Pear Hand Soap With Aloe, 1000mL
• Summit 150 Foaming Hand Soap, 28.7 fl. oz., made for R.I. Williams Company
• Vestis Foaming Hand Soap, Fresh Pear Scent, 33.8 fl. oz.
• Laura Lynn Honey Apple Crisp Liquid Hand Soap, 8 fl. oz., sold at Ingles Markets
• Laura Lynn Foaming Pear Scent Hand Soap with Moisturizers, 7.5 fl. oz., sold at Ingles Markets

Of the 6 recalled products, 2 products tested positive for bacterial contamination. The other 4 products were recalled due to a potential risk of contamination. The two products that tested positive are Intercon Foaming Pear Hand Soap With Aloe, and Clearly Better by Intercon Foaming Pear Hand Soap With Aloe.

What Types of Bacteria Were Found?

According to the FDA report, the recalled hand soaps may be contaminated with multiple strains of bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas putida, Pseudomonas monteilii, Serratia marcescens, and Serratia nematodiphila.

These bacteria are not usually a serious problem for healthy adults, but they can be opportunistic. People with vulnerable immune systems or certain underlying illnesses may be more likely to develop a serious infection, especially if they use a contaminated hand soap product that introduces bacteria into an open wound.

Where Were They Sold?

The recalled hand soaps were distributed to 20 consignees (19 wholesale and 1 retail company) located in 15 states: California, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Maryland, Mississippi, Nebraska, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Washington and Wisconsin.

Legal Help for Victims of Infection Outbreaks

For households with young children, older adults, or household members who have underlying illnesses or weakened immune systems, exposure to Pseudomonas or Serratia bacteria is a serious health risk. If you or a loved one developed an infection after using a contaminated product, you may be eligible to seek justice.
