Arbonne International has issued a voluntary recall on one lot of its Seasource Detox Spa® Foaming Sea Salt Scrub. The recalled products were manufactured by a third party and distributed nationwide through Arbonne Independent Consultants. The product comes in a 6.8 fluid oz white tube and is identified with a lot number on the crimping at the top of the tube. The Seasource Detox Spa Foaming Sea Salt Scrub products affected by this voluntary recall are ONLY from the following lot number (with shipping dates ranging from March 28, 2008 to July 15, 2009): Z928
This voluntary recall was initiated by Arbonne as a result of discovering the presence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria in the recalled lot. No other lots are affected. The organism Pseudomonas aeruginosa may cause dermatitis, soft tissue infections, bacteremia, and a variety of system infections, particularly with users who are immunosuppressed. Because the Foaming Sea Salt Scrub is used to exfoliate the skin?s surface, there is a possibility that inadvertent introduction of the tainted product directly into any skin abrasions could result in infection.
