Shampoo recalled due to possible bacteria exposure: See states where it was sold
Although there have been no reports of customers being hurt from using the products, the recall was put in place because the shampoo may be contaminated with the bacteria which is called Klebsiella oxytoca.
'Exposure to these bacteria can cause infections in humans, including infection in the eyes, nose and skin, with additional reactions for consumers with immune-compromised conditions,' the company wrote in its announcement, shared on the U.S. Food & Drug Administration's website.
Calling klebsiella oxytoca"an opportunistic pathogen," the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on its website that the bacteria normally impacts immunocompromised individuals or those requiring intensive care.

FDA Issues Risk Warning Over Nationwide Butter Recall
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A recall of butter across the United States due to a potential undeclared allergen has been issued the second-highest risk warning by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Bunge North America Inc., based in Missouri, initiated a voluntary recall of 64,800 pounds of its NH European Style Butter Blend on July 14 because milk may not have been listed on the product's label. The FDA later issued a Class II risk classification for the recall on Thursday. Newsweek contacted Bunge North America Inc. for comment by email outside of regular working hours. Bunge North America Inc. initiated a voluntary recall for 64,800 pounds of butter on July 14 due to a potential undeclared allergen. Bunge North America Inc. initiated a voluntary recall for 64,800 pounds of butter on July 14 due to a potential undeclared allergen. CTK/AP Why It Matters A Class II risk classification (one of three) refers to a situation in which the "use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote," according to the FDA. Milk is one of the nine major food allergens as defined in the law. The others are eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans, and sesame. Allergic reactions vary in severity from mild symptoms, such as hives and lip swelling, to life-threatening complications, such as anaphylaxis, that may include fatal respiratory problems. What To Know The product affected by this recall is the following: NH European Style Butter Blend - 64,800 pounds - UPC code: 1 00 78684 73961 2 - lot code: 5064036503 The product was packaged in white paperboard cases, with 36 blocks per case. The cases were shipped to 12 distribution centers located throughout the U.S., and one distribution center in the Dominican Republic. What People Are Saying The FDA, on its website: "People with food allergies should read labels and avoid the foods they are allergic to. The law requires that food labels identify the food source of all major food allergens used to make the food." The Mayo Clinic, on its website: "Milk allergy is an atypical immune system response to milk and products containing milk. It's one of the most common food allergies in children. Cow's milk is the usual cause of milk allergy, but milk from sheep, goats, buffalo and other mammals also can cause a reaction. "An allergic reaction usually occurs soon after you or your child consumes milk. Signs and symptoms of milk allergy range from mild to severe and can include wheezing, vomiting, hives and digestive problems. Milk allergy can also cause anaphylaxis — a severe, life-threatening reaction." Dr. Sebastian Lighvani, director of New York Allergy & Asthma PLLC, previously told Newsweek: "Every three minutes in the United States, someone ends up in an emergency room because of an allergic reaction after accidental ingestion of food. So even when we try hard, these reactions are happening. And if you look at the incidence of anaphylaxis, it has skyrocketed in the last five, 10, 20 years. And in the U.S., there's like a 300 to 400 percent increase in the rates of anaphylaxis to foods." What Happens Next The recall is listed as ongoing, according to the FDA.

High Noon recalls vodka seltzer cans mislabeled as energy drinks
U.S. Food and Drug Administration High Noon is recalling some of its vodka seltzer packs after finding that a few cans were incorrectly labeled as non-alcoholic energy drinks. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said on Wednesday that two lots of the High Noon Beach Variety 12-pack contain cans labeled as "CELSIUS® ASTRO VIBE™ Energy Drink, Sparkling Blue Razz Edition." But the cans still contain alcohol, not energy drink liquid. "The recall was initiated after High Noon discovered that a shared packaging supplier mistakenly shipped empty CELSIUS cans to High Noon," the FDA said. The mislabeled cans can be identified by a silver top, rather than the usual black top on Celsius drinks. No one has gotten sick or reported health problems so far, but drinking alcohol by mistake could be dangerous - especially for people avoiding alcohol due to age, health or other reasons. The recalled seltzer 12-packs were sent to distributors in: Florida, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Virginia and Wisconsin. Distributors shipped the product to retailers in Florida, New York, Ohio, South Carolina, Virginia and Wisconsin. The recalled High Noon Beach Variety 12-packs have this UPC code: 085000040065. Lot codes: L CCC 17JL25 14:00 to L CCC 17JL25 23:59 L CCC 18JL25 00:00 to L CCC 18JL25 03:00 The mislabeled Celsius cans have this UPC code: 8 89392 00134 1. Lot codes (found on the bottom of the can): L CCB 02JL25 2:55 to L CCB 02JL25 3:11 Customers who find they have one of the mislabeled cans should not drink it. Instead, they should throw it away and email consumerrelations@ to request a refund, the FDA said. More information Read the full recall notice at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
