NORWAY, IOWA — Aura Cacia Milk & Oat Bath products are being recalled voluntarily due to a possible health hazard. The recall is specific to three products. The three in question were sold online and in stores in all 50 states and in some parts of Canada to distributors, retailers and consumers.
This voluntary recall is the result of FDA testing that revealed an elevated microorganism count in Aura Cacia Lavender Milk & Oat Bath. While cosmetic products are not required to be sterile, an elevated microorganism count indicates that the product could pose a hazard to health. To date, no illnesses have been associated with these products.
The three products are: the 1.75 ounce packet of Lavender Milk and Oat Bath; the 9.75 ounce jar of Lavender Milk and Oat Bath; and the 49.6g Lavender Milk and Oat Bath. The latter was only distributed in Canada.
The location of the lot number for the 1.75 oz and 49.6g packets is embossed in the seam on the side of the packet. For the 9.75
oz jar, the lot number is printed on the back of the label or stickered on the bottom of the jar. Consumers can find photos of the recalled products at www.auracacia.com/recall.
