The sale and distribution of the affected batches have been immediately stopped. Users are advised to stop using the product immediately and not use it further. While the risk is considered low for people without pre-existing health conditions, individuals with weakened immune systems are at risk of infections from this bacterium and should be particularly cautious.

The Aroma Care Shower product, with an EAN of 4008233114781, is a 200 milliliters shower product. The company has not provided any information about the potential health risks for people without health issues who have already used the affected batches.
The recall remains in effect for the specified batches. No new information about the nature of the bacterium was provided in the latest announcement. It is important to note that for people without health issues, use of the Aroma Care Shower product is considered largely risk-free.
