Latest Summit 150 Foaming Hand Soap Recall Developments

September 17, 2026 – National reporting highlighted Summit 150 Foaming Hand Soap among six products included in Intercon Chemical Co.’s hand soap recall. Summit 150 was identified as a 28.7-fluid-ounce product included because of potential bacterial contamination. [1]

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

June 2026

June 29, 2026 – Intercon Chemical Co. initiated the voluntary recall involving Summit 150 and five other hand soaps because of potential bacterial contamination. The broader action included products supplied through wholesale and retail distribution channels.

What Is the Summit 150 Foaming Hand Soap Recall?

The recall involves Summit 150 Foaming Hand Soap packaged in 28.7-fluid-ounce containers. FDA-related recall reporting lists 1,040 cases of the product under recall number C-0015-2026.

The Summit 150 product was manufactured for R.I. Williams Company of Conover, North Carolina. Among the six entries in the broader hand soap recall, Summit 150 accounts for the largest number of recalled cases.

How Can I Identify Recalled Summit 150 Hand Soap?

Businesses and consumers should check the UPC, manufacturing code, lot number, and best-by date. Similar hand soaps that do not match the affected identifiers are not necessarily included in this recall.

• Product: Summit 150 Foaming Hand Soap
• Size: 28.7 fluid ounces
• UPC: 810080570030
• Manufacturing code: FRL01-HB-6X28-0948
• Lot code: BF97303
• Lot code: BF97304
• Lot code: BF97305
• Best-by dates: February 3, 4, and 5, 2028
• Recall number: C-0015-2026
• Quantity: 1,040 cases

The three affected lots correspond to consecutive best-by dates in February 2028. Product identification should be based on the entire set of markings rather than the Summit 150 name alone.

Why Was Summit 150 Foaming Hand Soap Recalled?

The Summit 150 recall reason is potential bacterial contamination. Public FDA recall information does not identify a specific bacterial species for the Summit 150 product.

Two other products in the broader event—Intercon Foaming Pear Hand Soap With Aloe and Clearly Better by Intercon Foaming Pear Hand Soap With Aloe—were associated with specifically named Pseudomonas and Serratia species. The Summit 150 entry is described more generally as involving potential bacterial contamination.

This distinction is important because the presence of bacteria identified in another recalled product should not automatically be attributed to Summit 150 without product-specific evidence.

What Does an FDA Class II Recall Mean?

The FDA uses a Class II classification when exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or when the probability of serious adverse consequences is considered remote. [3]

A Class II recall does not mean every person exposed to an affected product will become ill. It indicates that the potential health risk is significant enough to warrant removal or correction of the affected product.

Why Can Bacteria in Hand Soap Be a Concern?

Hand soap is repeatedly applied to the skin and may come into contact with cuts, abrasions, cracked skin, or other areas where the normal skin barrier is compromised. A contaminated product may therefore create a potential route of bacterial exposure.

MedlinePlus notes that bacterial skin infections can cause symptoms such as redness, swelling, pain, drainage, or other changes and that some infections may require antibiotic treatment. People with weakened immune systems may face greater susceptibility to certain infections. [4]

The existence of the Summit 150 recall does not prove that an infection occurring after soap use was caused by the product. Medical findings, product identification, timing, laboratory results, and other evidence may be needed to evaluate causation.

Where Was Summit 150 Foaming Hand Soap Distributed?

Summit 150 was among the recalled products distributed primarily through wholesale channels rather than solely through a single consumer retailer. Reporting on the broader recall states that multiple wholesalers received affected hand soap products. [1]

Wholesale distribution means affected bottles could have been supplied to businesses, workplaces, institutions, or other facilities. A person who used Summit 150 in a shared restroom may therefore have no purchase receipt or knowledge of the original shipping case.

Why Is the 1,040-Case Summit 150 Recall Significant?

Summit 150 represents the largest individual quantity among the six soap products in the Intercon recall. FDA-related reporting lists 1,040 cases of Summit 150, compared with smaller quantities of the other recalled hand soaps.

A case count should not be interpreted as the number of individual bottles or the number of consumers exposed. Each shipping case can contain multiple containers, so the number of individual units in circulation may be higher than 1,040.

Who May Be Affected?

Potentially affected individuals include people who used Summit 150 Foaming Hand Soap from lots BF97303, BF97304, or BF97305. Exposure may have occurred at home, at work, or in another facility supplied through wholesale distribution.

Businesses may need to examine supply records, storage areas, refill containers, and soap dispensers to determine whether affected Summit 150 bottles were placed into service. This may be especially important when soap was transferred from its original container into a wall-mounted or countertop dispenser.

What Should Owners of Recalled Summit 150 Soap Do?

Consumers and businesses should stop using bottles that match the recalled product identifiers. TODAY reported that people with affected products should discontinue use and dispose of the soap. [1]

Before disposing of a product involved in a suspected medical problem, photographs of the label, UPC, lot code, best-by date, manufacturing code, and remaining contents may be useful. Businesses may also want to preserve purchase invoices and supply records.

Have Any Summit 150 Illnesses Been Reported?

The public recall information reviewed for this article does not identify a confirmed illness count specifically associated with Summit 150 Foaming Hand Soap. The product was recalled because of potential bacterial contamination rather than a publicly announced outbreak specifically tied to Summit 150.

The absence of a publicly reported illness count does not mean affected soap should continue to be used. Recall status is based on the product identifiers and the FDA enforcement action.

What Evidence May Matter in a Summit 150 Hand Soap Claim?

Product identification may be particularly important when exposure occurs in a shared workplace or commercial restroom. A person may need evidence showing that recalled Summit 150 soap was actually supplied to the location.

• The original Summit 150 bottle or refill container
• Photographs of the UPC and manufacturing code
• The affected lot number and best-by date
• Purchase invoices or workplace supply records
• Photographs of the dispenser or exposure location
• Medical records and laboratory test results

Medical documentation may help establish the nature of an infection or reaction, while product and supply records can help determine whether the person was exposed to an affected lot.

Who May Be Liable for a Contaminated Summit 150 Hand Soap Injury?

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

Possible claims may involve manufacturing defects, negligence, breach of warranty, or other product-liability theories. A claimant generally must establish an applicable legal basis for liability and show that the product caused or contributed to the claimed injury.

Recall information identifies Intercon Chemical Co. in connection with the broader recall and R.I. Williams Company in connection with the Summit 150 product. The recall itself does not establish legal liability against either company or another entity.

Current Summit 150 Foaming Hand Soap Lawsuit Status

The principal documented federal action involving Summit 150 is the 2026 Class II recall. A review of current public reporting did not identify a publicly announced Summit 150 class action, multidistrict litigation proceeding, or nationwide personal-injury settlement as of September 22, 2026.

Individual claims may nevertheless warrant review if a person develops a medically documented infection or significant injury allegedly associated with an affected lot. Product identification, exposure evidence, medical causation, damages, and applicable filing deadlines can all affect a potential claim.

Do I Qualify for a Summit 150 Foaming Hand Soap Claim?

• Did you use Summit 150 Foaming Hand Soap from lot BF97303, BF97304, or BF97305?
• Did the bottle match UPC 810080570030 and an affected February 2028 best-by date?
• Did you develop a medically diagnosed infection or significant adverse reaction after exposure?
• Can you document the product, location, supply records, or medical treatment involved?

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

Compensation in a Contaminated Hand Soap Case

Depending on the circumstances, a claim may seek damages for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and other losses permitted under applicable law. Available damages depend on the severity of the injury, evidence of causation, and jurisdiction.

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