Soroko Facial Spray Recalled for Contamination

Clifton, NJ (SafetyAlerts) - Soroko Inc. said today it is recalling

Rejuvenating Mist facial spray because the product may be contaminated with

Psuedomonas sp.

Soroko has not received any reports of illness to date.

The product has a green label that says " Soroko, Inc. " and identifies Blade

Laboratories of Ontario, Canada as the manufacturer.

According to a company press release the product was distributed mainly in

New York, New Jersey, Texas, Mexico, Scotland, and Canada.

In January, laboratory tests showed that samples of the spray were

contaminated with pseudomonas, bacteria that can cause serious infection in

humans, particularly if it gets into open wounds. If introduced into the

eyes, such as from a facial spray, pseudomonas can cause vision-damaging

infection.

Consumers should discard the product immediately or return it to where it

was purchased. Consumers with questions can call the company at

1- between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. EST Monday through Saturday.
