Important safety alert for alcohol & alcohol free cleansing wipes

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) and the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) have issued urgent advice to stop using specific non-sterile alcohol-free wipes after some were found to be contaminated with Burkholderia stabilis, a bacteria that can cause infection.

If you have any of the following products, please dispose of them safely: 

• ValueAid Alcohol Free Cleansing Wipes
• Microsafe Moist Wipe Alcohol free
• Steroplast Sterowipe Alcohol Free Cleansing Wipes 

This is especially important for workplaces and individuals responsible for first aid kits. 

Please check your supplies and remove any affected products.
