Henkel, the German manufacturer, has recalled 1,068 bottles of Tec Italy Shampoo for Dry and Damaged Hair due to contamination with *Klebsiella oxytoca*, a bacterium that can cause serious infections if it spreads outside the gut. Though typically harmless, it can lead to pneumonia, sepsis, and urinary tract infections, with a death rate of 10-20% in bloodstream infections. The affected batch, identified by Lot Code 1G27542266 and Expiration Date May 27, 2027, was distributed to U.S. salons through specific distributors. While no illnesses have been reported, consumers who purchased the affected product are advised to stop using it, check the lot number, and contact the distributor for a refund. This recall is categorized as Class II, indicating moderate health risk, especially for those with weakened immune systems. This is not Tec Italy\u2019s first contamination issue; the brand previously recalled Tonico Shampoo in January 2025 due to E. coli concerns. Consumers should stay informed through FDA updates<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
