The recall involves Dr. Brown’s Natural Bottle & Dish Soap, which was sold individually or along with Dr. Brown’s bottle-brush cleaning kit.
No incidents have been reported, but the manufacturer warns about the risk of infections:
The bottle and dish soap can contain harmful bacteria. Exposure to bacteria poses a risk of respiratory and other infections in immunocompromised individuals.”
