FDA NEWS RELEASE: June 8, 2009

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced today that Clarcon Biological Chemistry Laboratory Inc. of Roy, Utah, is voluntarily recalling some skin sanitizers and skin protectants marketed under several different brand names because of high levels of disease-causing bacteria found in the product during a recent inspection. The FDA is warning consumers to not use any Clarcon products.

Consumers should not use any Clarcon products and should throw these products away in household refuse. Analyses of several samples of over-the-counter topical antimicrobial skin sanitizer and skin protectant products revealed high levels of various bacteria, including some associated with unsanitary conditions. Some of these bacteria can cause opportunistic infections of the skin and underlying tissues. Such infections may need medical or surgical attention, and may result in permanent damage. Examples of products that should be discarded include:

Citrushield Lotion

Dermasentials DermaBarrier

Dermassentials by Clarcon Antimicrobial Hand Sanitizer

Iron Fist Barrier Hand Treatment

Skin Shield Restaurant

Skin Shield Industrial

Skin Shield Beauty Salon Lotion

Total Skin Care Beauty

Total Skin Care Work

The following are medical products our law firm is investigating:

Hip Replacement Lawsuit
Our initial investigation into the Depuy recall of hip implants has found evidence that all patients who received the recalled DePuy ASR™ XL Acetabular System have a claim against DePuy Orthopaedics Inc. and its parent company, Johnson & Johnson. Read about the DePuy hip replacement recall.

Yaz Lawsuit
Yaz lawsuits are in multidistrict litigation (MDL). This means that all of the pre-trial procedures have been consolidated. If you have had a stroke, heart attack, embolism, deep vein thrombosis or gallbladder problems, we would like to talk with you. The MDL is like a class action lawsuit, Yaz.

Yasmin Lawsuit
According to Yasmin lawsuits filed in several states, Yasmin allegedly contains a diuretic, drospirenone, which blocks the hormone aldosterone and causes dehydration from increased potassium secretion and increased absorption of sodium. Instead of a Yasmin class action lawsuit, federal Yasmin lawsuits have been consolidated in multidistrict litigation (MDL).
