Method is voluntarily recovering a specific lot number of 12 ounce gel hand wash in sea minerals fragrance sold at the Kailua-Kona Target.
During a routine quality check, Method discovered a specific lot number of this product contains a naturally occurring bacterium, Pseudomonas bacteria, that is commonly found in soil and water. While this bacterium rarely causes harm to healthy individuals, there is a risk of infection for individuals with a compromised immune system.

Consumers who purchased this product since early October at Target should visit methodhsrecovery.com where they can enter in their product lot number found on the bottle to determine whether that product is part of recovery and if it is, learn more about disposal and how to receive a full value refund.
