We want to feel confident that products have been vigorously tested when we purchase them from the store, especially when we're going to use them in the bath or shower. We rely on different soaps and shampoos to help keep our hair and bodies clean, whether we're showering to start our morning, following a workout, or to unwind after a long day of work—and we expect those products to be safe enough to use at our most vulnerable times. Unfortunately, sometimes things fall through the cracks and end up being subject to recall. The latest product to be recalled could actually put your health at risk, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warned. Read on to find out which popular bath purchase you'll want to get rid of immediately.

A number of personal hygiene products have recently been subject to recall.

Best Brands Consumers also recalled two kinds of hand sanitizer, which were branded with Disney characters. The Mandalorian Hand Sanitizer Ethyl Alcohol 68% (available in green or blue) was also recalled due to the presence of benzene, while the Mickey Mouse Hand Sanitizer Ethyl Alcohol 68% (blue) was recalled due to the presence of methanol, which can be dangerous to health after long-term exposure.

A bubble bath product has been recalled.
If you have children, or if you yourself enjoy relaxing in a warm bubble bath, you'll want to take note of this. On April 20, the FDA announced that Babyganics had voluntarily recalled two lots of its 20-ounce chamomile verbena bubble bottles due to potential contamination with the bacterium Pluralibacter gergoviae. The presence of bacteria was detected during internal testing related to product shelf life, the recall announcement stated.
"Babyganics takes pride in its commitment to vigorous consumer safety standards and providing peace of mind for parents, which is why the decision was made to voluntarily recover these bottles from retailers and to proactively reach out to consumers," the company said.
This bacteria poses risks to specific groups of people.
According to the recall announcement, infants are likely more susceptible when exposed to this variety of bacteria, but it doesn't usually lead to healthy people getting sick. However, those who are immunocompromised or have broken or irritated skin could be more at risk. This is especially important for babies that may have diaper rash.
