The Spanish agency for medicines and health products (AEMPS) recalled the Cosmia-Exfoliating shower gel with apricot kernel (cosmia-gel de ducha exfoliante hueso de apricot, 750 and 250 millilitres, due to the presence of bacteria in all of its batches.

The bacteria in question is Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which can cause serious infections in elderly people or those with weakened immune systems. The company responsible for placing the product on the market is SAS OIA (Auchan Retail), based in France.
