Hand Sanitizer Being Recalled For Containing Bacteria
This is a bit like a Preparation H recall because it causes itchy ass.
A hand sanitizer meant to protect people from germs is being recalled because of bacterial contamination, Health Canada said Thursday.
Kimberly-Clark is recalling its Kleenex-brand Luxury Foam Hand Sanitizer after company testing detected bacteria that may pose serious health risks to people with weakened immune systems, especially those with the lung disorder cystic fibrosis.
The bacteria identified in the tested samples are from the Burkholderia cepacia group. These bacteria pose little risk to healthy people, but for those with immune systems weakened by other illnesses, the microbes can cause serious problems, including pneumonia and blood infection.
The affected hand sanitizer comes in one-litre and 1.2-litre containers, and is used in large-volume dispensers, such as those found in public areas and workspaces.

This is why I never wash my hands, shake hands with everyone, touch every railing, door handle and play with the change in my pocket.
Immunity.
Seriously, I get stuck behind people that have to wipe their shopping cart handle down with “complimentary sanitizers,” yet they throw their food in the basket two bums fucked in the night before?
I hate this place more and more.

Gee, thanks for that visual of the shopping cart, old_oaks!
Like it wasn’t enough that I have to conscientiously avoid putting anything in the baby seat part, after reading that they are covered in e-coli from shitty diapers.

Reminds me of another story but I cannot find it anywhere on the net.
Didn’t a version of Norton Antivirus actually ship with a virus on the CD? Or was it another antivirus program?

Was this crap made in the USA, Canada, or China? If it was made in China, it was probably intentional. That’s why I don’t buy anything made in that craphole country.

WTF? If it does not kill the bacteria contained within the product, just how in the hell do they expect it to kill the bacteria anywhere else?

L’acheteur doit avoir ouvert une des boîtes destinées aux québéçois.

Boobie,
C’était très drôle, très bien dit. Avez-vous quelque chose contre les québécois?

Good thing Howard Hughes isn’t alive to see this. It’d kill him.
