Rockline Industries and SCA Personal Care have recalled Tena Ultra Washcloths, Tena Ultra Flush Washcloths, Tena Ultra Adult Wipes distributed by SCA Personal Care to distributors and retailers across Canada.
Affected lots were produced between June 1, 2015 and December 31, 2015. They are most easily identified on the packages by the "Best Before" dates of "2017 12" through "2018 06". Lot codes can also be used to identify these packages, and these are found on the side panel of the package. The first three digits of the lot code will be between 152 and 365 with the fourth digit on all packages as 5. These are the only lot codes affected.
As a result of complaints of an ammonia-like odor, the company conducted microbial testing that showed the presence of the bacteria Burkholderia cepacia (B. cepacia) in certain lots of wipe products.
This bacterium poses little medical risk to healthy people. However, people who have certain health problems like a weakened immune system or chronic lung disease, particularly cystic fibrosis, may be more susceptible to infections with B. cepacia.
Neither Rockline nor Health Canada has received any reports of consumer incidents or injuries related to the use of these products.
The affected wipes were sold between June 17, 2015 and February 2, 2016.
