Woolworths recalls its WBeauty Complete Clarifying Shampoo from stores across South Africa after testing finds a potentially harmful bacterium in the product. The company issues the recall as a precaution and removes the affected items from shelves.
Both outlets describe the action as voluntary and linked to results from quality or safety testing. IOL specifies that the bacterium is detected in a limited batch of the shampoo, while The South African reports more generally that a potentially harmful bacterium is found during testing. Neither outlet provides additional details on the specific bacterium, the affected batch identifiers, or the time frame for removal, nor do they report illnesses or adverse outcomes. The emphasis is on the company’s decision to pull the product following the test results, with the recall process being focused on the affected stock rather than the entire product line.
