Woolworths recalls a limited batch of WBeauty Complete Clarifying Shampoo after testing detects the bacterium *Pluralibacter gergoviae*. The retailer says the recall follows identification of the organism in the product and advises consumers to stop using the affected batch.
The reported issue centers on what the bacterium is and whether it poses a health risk. Coverage explains that *Pluralibacter gergoviae* is an environmental bacterium that can be found in various settings, and addresses potential concerns, including whether exposure through a personal care product is a meaningful risk. Outlets also direct attention to how consumers can check whether they have an affected item and what refund or replacement options are available.
While the outlets agree on the recall and the specific bacterium detected, they vary in how much space they give to consumer safety explanations versus refund guidance. They also differ in the level of detail provided about batch identification and the scope of testing, but the core information remains that a limited batch is being withdrawn following positive results.
