What’s the Problem?
KleenFoam antimicrobial foam soap is part of a voluntary nationwide recall initiated by DermaRite Industries due to contamination with Burkholderia cepacia complex—a dangerous pathogen known to cause serious infections, especially in individuals with compromised immune systems.
Though no illnesses have been officially reported, KleenFoam users exposed via compromised skin or those caring for at-risk individuals may face elevated risk of infection, including respiratory or bloodstream complications, or sepsis.
Latest KleenFoam Lawsuit Updates
- August 8, 2025 – DermaRite announces immediate voluntary nationwide recall of KleenFoam and related DermaRite products found to be contaminated [1.].
KleenFoam Lawsuit Scope & Stats
- Product involved: KleenFoam antimicrobial foam soap (with other DermaRite soaps).
- Distribution: Nationwide across pharmacies, hospitals, clinics, and online stores.
- Reported harms: No confirmed infections yet, though risk remains significant for vulnerable users.
- Legal activity: No filed lawsuits; our firm is beginning outreach to potentially impacted consumers.
Safety Risk Analysis

Possible Health Impacts
Contamination may lead to:
