Lidl Recalls Cien Shampoo Batch After Pluralibacter Detection

Lab detection of Pluralibacter gergoviae prompted a targeted recall because the bacterium can cause infections in people with weakened immunity.

Overview

  • The recall covers Cien Shampoo Feuchtigkeit 400 ml from supplier Persan S.A., batch number 5231552, sold in Lidl stores in several German states.
  • Lidl has removed the batch from sale and asks customers to stop using the product immediately.
  • Customers can return the bottle to any Lidl store for a full refund without showing a receipt.
  • Pluralibacter gergoviae is sometimes found in cosmetics and usually poses low risk to healthy people but can cause skin, eye, airway inflammation or urinary infections in immunocompromised or sensitive individuals.
  • Lidl says no other Persan S.A. items or other Cien-brand products sold in Germany are affected and consumers who develop symptoms after use should seek medical advice.
