September 11, 2026 – The FDA classified Intercon Chemical Co.’s hand soap recall, Event 99466, as Class II. The enforcement record covers six hand soap products and lists the recall as ongoing. [2]

FDA defines a Class II recall as one in which exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse consequences is remote. [3]

June 2026

June 29, 2026 – Intercon Chemical Co. initiated a voluntary recall involving six hand soap products because of potential bacterial contamination. The event includes Laura Lynn Honey Apple Crisp Liquid Hand Soap and Laura Lynn Foaming Pear Scent Hand Soap with Moisturizers distributed by Ingles Markets. [2]

What Is the Laura Lynn Honey Apple Crisp Hand Soap Recall?

The recall covers Laura Lynn Honey Apple Crisp Liquid Hand Soap sold in 8-fluid-ounce bottles. FDA enforcement information lists 301 cases of the product in recall C-0017-2026.

The product was distributed by Ingles Markets Inc. of Asheville, North Carolina. It is one of six hand soaps included in the broader Intercon Chemical voluntary recall.

How Can I Identify the Recalled Laura Lynn Soap?

Consumers should use the bottle-specific information to determine whether they have an affected product. Not every Laura Lynn hand soap is included.

• Product: Laura Lynn Honey Apple Crisp Liquid Hand Soap
• Size: 8 fluid ounces
• UPC: 086854074305
• Manufacturing code: FIN46-HB-12X8-0921
• Lot codes: C3576 and 26-01804
• Best-by dates: November 5, 2026 and 03/28
• Recall number: C-0017-2026
• Quantity: 301 cases

FDA information lists the second best-by date as “03/28,” rather than providing a specific day in March 2028. Consumers should compare the lot code as well as the date printed on the bottle. [1]

Why Was Laura Lynn Honey Apple Crisp Hand Soap Recalled?

The FDA enforcement information identifies the reason as potential bacterial contamination. The public FDA information does not name a specific bacterial species for the Laura Lynn Honey Apple Crisp product.

Two Intercon-branded soaps in the broader recall are associated with specifically named Pseudomonas and Serratia species. The available record does not state that those same organisms contaminated the Laura Lynn Honey Apple Crisp soap. [1]

What Does an FDA Class II Recall Mean?

A Class II recall means use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or that the probability of serious adverse consequences is remote. It is distinct from a Class I recall, which involves a greater potential for serious harm. [3]

The classification does not mean that every consumer who used an affected bottle will become ill. It reflects FDA’s assessment of the potential health consequences associated with the recalled products.

Can Bacterial Contamination Cause a Skin Infection?

Bacteria can cause skin infections when germs enter through a break, cut, wound, or other compromised area of skin. MedlinePlus notes that people with weakened immune systems may also be more susceptible to skin infections. [4]

Possible signs of a skin infection can include redness, swelling, pain, itching, rash, or pus, although symptoms depend on the organism and type of infection. A healthcare professional may use laboratory testing, including a culture, when necessary to identify the cause.

The Laura Lynn recall itself does not establish that a consumer’s skin condition or infection was caused by the soap. Medical diagnosis and evidence linking the illness to an affected bottle would be important in evaluating an individual claim.

Who May Be Affected?

Consumers who used Laura Lynn Honey Apple Crisp Liquid Hand Soap from lot C3576 or 26-01804 may have been exposed to a recalled product. Bottle identification is especially important because similar Laura Lynn soaps may not be included.

A consumer who develops a diagnosed infection or another significant medical problem after using an affected bottle may want to preserve the product, photographs of its identifying information, purchase records, and medical documentation.

How Is the Honey Apple Crisp Recall Different From the Pear Soap Recall?

The two Laura Lynn soaps are separate FDA recall entries. Honey Apple Crisp is an 8-fluid-ounce liquid soap involving 301 cases and two affected lot codes, while Laura Lynn Foaming Pear Hand Soap is a 7.5-fluid-ounce product involving 294 cases and one affected lot.

Together, the two Laura Lynn entries account for 595 cases. Both are listed for potential bacterial contamination, but their UPCs, lot codes, bottle sizes, and recall numbers differ. [1]

What Should Consumers Do With Recalled Hand Soap?

Consumers who identify an affected Honey Apple Crisp bottle should stop using it and follow retailer or recall instructions concerning return or disposal. They should avoid transferring the soap into another unlabeled container because doing so can eliminate useful identifying information.

If an illness is suspected, photographs of the UPC, lot code, best-by date, bottle, and remaining contents may be useful. Consumers experiencing signs of infection should contact a healthcare professional for appropriate evaluation.

Have Any Illnesses Been Reported?

The public recall information reviewed for this article does not identify a confirmed illness count specifically associated with Laura Lynn Honey Apple Crisp Liquid Hand Soap. The recall is based on potential bacterial contamination rather than a publicly identified outbreak tied to this product.

The absence of a reported illness count does not mean that affected bottles should continue to be used. Consumers should rely on the identified UPC, lots, and best-by dates when determining recall status.

What Evidence May Matter in a Hand Soap Injury Claim?

Evidence can be particularly important in contamination cases because identifying the exact product and lot may be necessary to connect an exposure to a recall.

• The original hand soap bottle and remaining product
• Photographs of the UPC and lot code
• Best-by date and manufacturing code
• Purchase receipts or transaction records
• Photographs of visible symptoms
• Medical records and laboratory results

A diagnosis occurring after use of the product does not by itself establish that the soap caused the condition. Product identification, medical findings, timing, and other evidence may all be relevant.

Who May Be Liable for a Contaminated Hand Soap Injury?

Potential liability depends on the facts and applicable state law. Manufacturers, distributors, retailers, or other businesses involved in producing or supplying an allegedly contaminated product may potentially be evaluated when an injury occurs.

Possible claims may involve a manufacturing defect, negligence, breach of warranty, or other product-liability theories. A claimant generally must establish an applicable legal basis for liability and connect the recalled product to the claimed injury.

Ingles Markets is identified as the distributor of the recalled Laura Lynn product. A recall alone does not establish liability against Ingles, Intercon Chemical, or another company.

Current Laura Lynn Honey Apple Crisp Hand Soap Lawsuit Status

The available FDA information documents a Class II recall involving the Honey Apple Crisp soap. It does not announce a class action, multidistrict litigation proceeding, or nationwide personal-injury settlement for users of the product.

An individual legal claim may still be evaluated if a consumer allegedly develops a medically documented infection or significant injury after using an affected bottle. Product identification, medical evidence, causation, damages, and applicable filing deadlines can all affect a claim.

Do I Qualify for a Laura Lynn Honey Apple Crisp Hand Soap Claim?

• Did you use Laura Lynn Honey Apple Crisp Liquid Hand Soap from lot C3576 or 26-01804?
• Did your bottle match UPC 086854074305 and an affected best-by date?
• Did you develop a medically diagnosed infection or significant adverse reaction?
• Do you have the bottle, photographs, purchase records, or medical test results?

Answering yes to one or more questions does not automatically establish a lawsuit. An attorney can review the recalled product, exposure history, medical evidence, laboratory findings, and applicable deadlines to determine whether further investigation may be appropriate.

1. Free case review. An attorney reviews the recalled bottle, exposure history, symptoms, and diagnosis.

Compensation in a Contaminated Hand Soap Case

Compensation amounts vary by case. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.
