The exfoliating shower gel with apricot kernels from the Cosmia brand, sold at Auchan, is the subject of a recall. This product contains the pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria, which is potentially dangerous for people with weakened immunity.
The batches concerned were marketed between May 1 and October 7, identifiable by the reference 3596710517350 and batch number P03059.
According to the French Society of Microbiology, this bacteria is opportunistic, not very virulent in healthy individuals, but can cause serious infections in immunocompromised people. These infections can be mild but can also become serious, leading to lung, urinary or skin infections.
