Inopak Choice Antibacterial Hand Soap Recalled for Potential Bacterial Contamination

Inopak Ltd is recalling Choice Antibacterial Hand Soap due to GMP deviations and potential bacterial contamination from a pump.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text explicitly states that no illnesses or injuries have been reported. The hazard is theoretical (potential contamination), which aligns with the rubric for voluntary precautionary recalls or low-risk contamination where harm has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Inopak Ltd is voluntarily recalling Choice Antibacterial Hand Soap, 800 ml/27 fl oz, Universal Valve. The recall is due to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) deviations that may have allowed bacterial contamination to be introduced to the product through a contaminated diaphragm pump.

The affected product is distributed nationwide. All lots within the expiration date are included in this recall. The source text does not specify a particular lot number or expiration date range.

Consumers should stop using the product and contact the recalling firm for instructions on how to return or dispose of it. The source text does not report any illnesses or injuries associated with this recall.
