Benzalkonium Chloride Antiseptic Wipes Issued a Recall

DUKAL Corp. issued a voluntary recall of selected lots of benzalkonium chloride swabs and antiseptic wipes manufactured for by Jianerkang Medical Dression Co.

Benzalkonium chloride antiseptic wipes are sold separately over the counter and in kits, according to the Food and Drug Administration. The recall is being initiated due to concerns about potential microbial contamination with Burkholderia cepacia, which could lead to infections and other health risks, particularly in immune-suppressed patients.

There have been no reported incidents involving these products.
