A soap recall that a company initiated back in August has expanded to more than 30 personal care products. DermaRite industries has expanded a recall on soap products to include more than 30 personal care products, from shampoos to lotions.

More items including sanitizer, shampoo, lotions and deodorant have been impacted over concerns that using them could result in "serious and life-threatening infections" like sepsis, according to NBC Chicago.

The recall, originally issued in July, included four products from DermaRite Industries, LLC but now number of recalled products has now expanded to more than 30 products.

The company voluntarily pulled back a batch of its soaps after warning that contamination with Burkholderia cepacia complex bacteria could trigger infections in open wounds and, in severe cases, lead to potentially life-threatening sepsis.

Burkholderia cepacia complex, also called B. cepacia or Bcc, is a group of bacteria that can cause infections in healthcare settings. B. cepacia germs can be resistant to antibiotics, making them difficult to treat, the CDC says.

Symptoms of infection can vary, "ranging from no symptoms to serious respiratory infections, especially in patients with cystic fibrosis or other chronic lung disease," according to the CDC. Other symptoms may include things like fever or fatigue, the agency notes.

In the United States, people in healthcare settings and those with weakened immune systems or chronic lung diseases, particularly cystic fibrosis, are at highest risk of infection with B. cepacia complex. B. cepacia complex poses little medical risk to healthy people, the health agency says.
