Just WTF America.
A product you are supposed to use to keep from getting sick, makes you sick…Brilliant!

BS and they should name the stores that sold it.
Nothing is safe anymore it seems, we have lost our way.
Most of these foaming and liquid soaps are sold through commercial suppliers for public bathroom dispensers and that sort of thing. Apparently some of these affected products are sold in smaller containers for home use.
The manufacturer announced this recall at the very end of June and it was only certain lot numbers from earlier in the year.
Probably not a real big problem unless you have open wounds.
There’s a high likelihood that some of these same bacteria are in your drinking water in very small amounts.
These are classified as heterotrophic bacteria. There are many different strains and they are in just about all water sources.
The disinfectants used by public water supplies do not sterilize all of them.
If you read enough about heterotrophic bacteria you will never want to drink water again.
Thank you,
good info.
A girl from Hospice came over to give my mother a bath and fist thing she did was check out the bathroom and wanted to wash her hands ….
When she asked about soap I pointed at the bar in the soap dish right in front of her and she gave me a classic scowl. That look that only 20 year old girls can give . Her world was forever changed .
kills 99.99% of germs, but not that one…
And for anybody thinking ,
I don’t drink municipal or city water, I only drink bottled water. There are still plenty of strains of heterotrophic bacteria in your bottled water. It doesn’t matter whether they use UV or ozone as the final sterilizing process. You cannot escape heterotrophic bacteria. Well actually if it’s for medical purposes and it is labeled as “sterile” than you can escape it. But nobody is buying sterile bottled water to drink.
See, the issue is that you’re not drinking outta the hose. You need the flora and fauna to do battle and weaken each other so your immune system can come and pick them off…
As far as ozone-nated water, it’s pointless if it goes into a reservoir, which has any linkage or access from the outside…Let’s just do what the cultured societies do…Cervesas por favor!
Honestly, I think it’s been a good 25 years since I’ve seen a bar of soap used for hand washing.
Hmm.. Do you mean that all you see it liquid soap? I only have bar soap at home.
Granted in bathrooms in commercial or government buildings are all liquid soap. If you are lucky enough to actually have any in the dispenser… 
Can we talk about the hand driers that break the sound barrier . I’m not a whiner with tender ears but they have to be over some legal noise limit . I like them but also liked the massive cloth roll .
Seems like bathrooms are attractors of bad behavior.
It’s too bad that ultrasonics could cook our hands…Maybe at a lower power, same frequency, could just vibrate the crap off our bodies, like in star trek?
Until recently my local shooting range did not even have bars of soap, they had dispensers from probably 60s with baking soda in it, which actually worked better than any soap, on powder, and lead residue.
They can not name stores cuz there is no way to trace them all, any store can be selling it, nor they really need to, they told you exact name that appears on the bottle, and what size of bottles they come in, that is a lot better than name stores.
My Dog has Heterochromia…he got it from too much Heterotrophic bacteria.
Only one I’ve used in forever is the hand cleaner stuff like Lava or Fast Orange.
I’ve read it’s not a great thing to wash your hands with antibacterial soaps frequently since it kills the good bacteria as well. If I’m at home I just use dawn liquid and/or gojo walnut shell fragment hand cleaner.
Semi unrelated but it’s too bad you can’t get the cherry supro max in a smaller container. I’ve never found anything better than that stuff. The regular unscented supro max doesn’t work as well and I really don’t think it’s just placebo.
Besides, it becomes a potential breeding grounds for more super bugs… SIGH.
I still have a dispenser on the wall in my garage for Gojo. A pump. They were designed to accept a large jar of Gojo and just screw it into the dispenser. I haven’t found any of the jars they were designed for in many years. I wish I could… it was a great design and very handy.
another vote for Dawn
for hands not hair.
Unless we are talking about “medicated” products which contain specific bactericidal chemicals, I think all soap kills bacteria - the action of soap is to physically destroy the outer lipid membrane of bacteria cells, it’s not possible to select “good” Vs “bad” bacteria.
I’d take risk of “removing good bacteria” over a case of diarrhoea any day of the week.
I travel to developing countries a lot, and think that in the west/developed countries, we take good health for granted and because we are desensitised to consequence of serious illnesses, the perceived risk/reward ratio becomes “too great” e.g modern push backs against measles vaccinations etc.
I think there’s a balance to be made between disinfecting absolutely everything and not washing your hands after preparing raw meat or going to the bathroom.
Thaw the poles, release the kraken!
