### Background Henkel Capital S.A. de C.V. initiated this recall after internal microbiological testing revealed the presence of *Klebsiella oxytoca* in some batches of Tec Italy Shampoo Totale (33.81 fl. oz./1 L bottles). While no user harm or injuries have been reported to date, the potential risk necessitated this precautionary measure.
### Understanding *Klebsiella oxytoca* *Klebsiella oxytoca* is a bacterium commonly found in the environment. While often harmless, it can cause opportunistic infections in humans, particularly affecting the eyes, nose, and skin. Individuals with weakened immune systems face a higher risk of complications from exposure.
### Affected Products & Distribution The recall specifically targets the Tec Italy Shampoo Totale packaged in green 33.81 fl. oz./1 L bottles marked with Lot # 1G27542266 and UPC 7501438375850. These products were distributed through channels in New York and California and may have been sold directly to consumers at the retail level or distributed further.
### How to Prepare / What to Do Consumers who have purchased the identified Tec Italy Shampoo Totale should immediately stop using the product. Check the bottle for Lot # 1G27542266. If you have an affected bottle, return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. If you experience any adverse symptoms after using the product, consult a physician immediately.
### Who This Affects Most Anyone using the recalled shampoo lot is potentially affected. However, individuals with compromised immune systems, open wounds, or existing skin conditions may be at a higher risk of infection if exposed to the bacteria.
