Profeco Issues Alert as Henkel Withdraws ‘Shampoo Totale’ Lot Over Possible Bacterial Contamination

Profeco will supervise a targeted recall through February 2026 that offers free replacements for consumers with affected units.

Overview

  • The action targets lot 1G27542266 of Henkel‑Tec Italy’s Shampoo Totale, 904 units identified on a 1‑liter green bottle with EAN 7501438375850.
  • Supplier testing found Klebsiella oxytoca, which can trigger eye, nasal and skin infections and poses higher risk to immunocompromised people.
  • Users are urged to stop using products from the lot, treat a foul, unpleasant odor as a warning sign, and seek medical care if symptoms arise.
  • Henkel is handling returns at sacli@henkel.com and 800 0072 254, sending a free replacement and a prepaid guide to return the item.
  • As of May 6, the company had one report of a foul‑smelling bottle, and Profeco says it will monitor compliance throughout the market withdrawal.
