Baby lotion recall

Johnson & Johnson on Friday said it is recalling more than 2,000 tubes of its Aveeno Baby Calming Comfort Lotion after U.S. regulators identified excessive levels of bacteria in a product sample.

J&J said the product, one of many consumer brands it has recalled in the past two years due to quality-control lapses, was being voluntarily withdrawn in Kansas and eight Southern states out of "an abundance of caution" and that its potential for harm was "remote."

The company said a test by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration showed that the lot of Aveeno lotion "exceeded the specifications for common bacteria" allowed for consumer products. But J&J said extensive testing later by an independent laboratory did not show that specifications were exceeded.

That's really scary. Wasn't there a deadly bacteria connected to some wipes a while back? Hope no one is harmed from this.

I figured I'd post it just in case. What with Chris and Cat having little ones.

I always stayed away from Aveeno.

I think the only Aveeno thing I ever bought was the oatmeal bath stuff when the kids has chickenpox.

Do you ever check out the recall board at Walmart? It is frightening. I understand that most of them are worst case scenario type recalls, but still. There are always so many.
