Cleanser recalled over excess bacteria

A cleaning lotion sold at The Reject Shop and on Amazon has been recalled after users had a bad reaction following exposure.

Nuage Ceramide Gentle Cleanser, a 250-millilitre bottled lotion, was found to have an excessive level of aerobic mesophilic bacteria, according to Product Safety Australia's recall notice.

This poses a risk of infection, or skin and eye irritation, if users are exposed.
