Plain-English summary
Easy Care First Aid 25 Person 2009 ANSI First Aid Kits, which contain Easy Care First Aid After Burn Cream packets (0.9 g packets, Product #9999-2129), are being recalled due to microbial contamination.
FDA laboratory testing found the product contaminated with Bacillus lichenformis and Bacillus sonorensis. The affected lot (W05L28, expiration 12/28/2023) was distributed nationwide and in Canada, affecting 37,464 packets.
