Certain Option+ and Personelle sunscreens have been voluntarily recalled because of a bacterial contamination
One lot each of Option+ Family Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50+ and Personnelle Sport Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50+ have been voluntarily recalled by Empack Spraytech Inc. because of the bacterial contamination.
The sunscreens were found to contain multiple types of bacteria:
- Lactobacillus brevis, and
- Either Micrococcus luteus or Staphylococcus hominis novobiosepticus
Although Lactobacillus brevis has not been documented to cause any illness in humans, the other two (Micrococcus luteus or Staphylococcus hominis novobiosepticus) may result in infection. The risk may be higher in children and individuals with a weakened immune system. To date, Health Canada has not received any adverse reaction reports involving the recalled sunscreens.
