FDA Warns: Clarcon Skin Products Present Health Threats

The US FDA cautions consumers of the harmful effects Clarcon skin products are having on the skin.  They urge consumers to cease all usage of Clarcon Biological Chemistry Laboratory skin sanitizer or protectants, because of hazardous bacteria.

The Associated Press reports that the FDA states that some of the bacteria can lead to opportunistic infections of the skin and underlying tissues that could require medical or surgical treatment, potentially causing permanent damage.

Although, no cases of infection have yet to be proclaimed, consumers should discard of the products in their home garbage. Since 2007, over 800,000 bottles of the product, retailed under alternative brand names, have been circulated across the United States.

The Associated Press reports that US Marshals Service officers confiscated all skin sanitizer and protectant goods, and ingredients, at Clarcon’s Utah based establishment.  The seizure occurred as a result of Clarcon’s compliance failure with an FDA order to liquidate immediately all said products.
