Jergens Product Recall Media Holding Statement

Kao USA Inc. Inc. takes the safety of its products seriously. As such, we took the precautionary step of voluntarily recalling several lots of Jergens® Ultra Healing Moisturizer, 3 oz and 10 oz sizes, after Pluralibacter gergoviae bacteria was detected.

However, Kao USA Inc. issued a voluntary recall of the affected product by removing the product in question from warehouses, working with retailers to ensure the product does not remain on store shelves, and proactively notifying our valued consumers. Kao USA Inc. will inform regulatory authorities.
