A popular, high-end shampoo sold nationwide has been voluntarily recalled due to the presence of bacteria. The recall, issued by Kao USA, affects certain lots of Oribe Serene Scalp Densifying Shampoo sold in the U.S. and Canada.
Recall Details
The recall was issued because Pluralibacter gergoviae bacteria was detected in the shampoo. According to the Food and Drug Administration, the bacteria pose little medical risk to healthy people, but those with certain health issues, such as weakened immune systems, may be more susceptible to infection.
The FDA says the recall is currently limited to specific lots of the Oribe shampoo in 8.5 ounce and 33.8 ounce sizes. An investigation into the scope of the issue remains ongoing.
Oribe’s website shows the impacted product may have been sold in purple bottles, starting at about $52. Those who have used the product are urged to contact Kao Professional Hair Technical Hotline at 800-333-2442 or email [email protected] with questions.
