A batch of Liz Earle cleanser has been recalled after it was found to contain a high level of dangerous bacteria.
The skincare brand had to recall 15,000 tubes of its Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser after tests revealed it contained high levels of the bacterium Enterobacter gergoviae.
This bacteria is known to cause chest and urinary tract infections and in some cases has been found to be resistant to antibiotics.

A spokesperson for Liz Earle told The Huffington Post that the issue was confined to a single batch of the cleanser, which were all sold directly via the Liz Earle website.
The spokesperson said, “No product outside of this batch was affected.”
“The product recall took place in early October and Liz Earle Beauty Co has already communicated with every consumer that could have been affected.”
Every customer who purchased a contaminated bottle has been offered a full refund.
