HimalayaUSA Announces Voluntary Product Recall For Organique by Himalaya® Nourishing Night Cream Batch #S691001 and Batch #S69100 due to possible bacteria staphylococcus aureus contamination
HimalayaUSA® announced it is conducting a voluntary recall of Organique by Himalaya Nourishing Night Cream with batch #S691001 and batch #S691002 effective immediately.

As there is no way to determine if all pumps used contained these microbes, HimalayaUSA is recalling the entire batch.
Although no microbes were found in batch #S691002, the same pump components may have been used in its manufacturing, so in an abundance of safety, HimalayaUSA is voluntarily recalling this batch, too.
This recall is effective only for the batch numbers indicated and not for any other Nourishing Night Cream batch. The recall was proactively taken by HimalayaUSA immediately upon learning of the presence microbes in the product.
