Woolworths Recalls WBeauty Clarifying Shampoo Over Bacterial Contamination

Woolworths Recalls WBeauty Clarifying Shampoo Over Bacterial Contamination. Woolworths has issued a voluntary recall of its WBeauty Complete Clarifying Shampoo after quality assurance testing identified the presence of Pluralibacter gergoviae in a limited batch of the product.

The recall is effective immediately and affects the 250ml WBeauty Complete Clarifying Shampoo, which carries barcode 6009233284823.

Woolworths said Pluralibacter gergoviae can occur in wet manufacturing environments. While the risk to healthy individuals is considered low, the retailer has advised customers with weakened immune systems to stop using the affected product because of the potential risk of bacterial infection.

The affected shampoo has been removed from Woolworths shelves as part of the recall.

Customers who have purchased the product are being advised to return it to their nearest Woolworths store for a full refund. Woolworths said customers do not need to provide proof of purchase to receive the refund.

The retailer said the recall follows additional testing conducted as part of its ongoing quality assurance processes.

Woolworths said customer safety remains its priority and has advised customers to follow the recall guidance if they have purchased the affected product.

The recall specifically applies to the identified 250ml WBeauty Complete Clarifying Shampoo carrying barcode 6009233284823. The information provided by Woolworths does not indicate that other WBeauty products are affected by the recall.

Customers who are unsure whether the product they purchased is part of the recall can check the product details, including its size and barcode, against the information provided by Woolworths.
