Holiday Inn Express Complimentary Make Up Remover Recalled

Risk of Serious Infections Prompts Recall

Celeste Industries Corporation has voluntarily recalled all lots of simplySmart "Remove" Make Up Remover in the US and Canada This product is packaged as a single towelette with hiexpress.com shown on the packet. This recall was a result of certain limited lots testing positive for Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria. The issue was discovered after a consumer complained of an odor coming from the towelette packets.

The organism Pseudomonas aeruginosa may cause serious eye infections, respiratory infections, dermatitis, soft tissue infections, bacteremia, and a variety of systemic infections, particularly in patients who are immunosuppressed. Because the Make-Up Remover may be used in the area of the eye, there is a possibility that inadvertent introduction of the tainted product directly in the eye could result in serious eye infections.

Any hotel guests who may have taken the product are advised to not use it and to destroy it immediately. Consumers who have used the product and have any concerns should contact a healthcare professional.
