COMPANY RECALLS 6 SKIN OINTMENTS
Six over-the-counter ointments made by Magna-Bon Co., are being recalled after the Food and Drug Administration advised that they pose a risk of chemical burns to the skin, the manufacturer said Monday.
Consumers were urged to stop using the ointments which have been marketed in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Texas and Virginia.
The following products are being recalled: Magna-Bon Antiseptic Cream, Magna-Bon Facial Cream, Magna-Bon Burn Spray, Magna-Bon Magnum Strength, Magna-Bon Medium Strength and Magna-Bon Mild Strength. The six products are used for burns; control of bacteria, viruses and fungi; and for sunburn, acne, cold sores, diaper rash and warts.
