Cardinal Health labeled alcohol-free mouthwash

On May 2, 2008, Hydrox Labs recalled Cardinal Health alcohol-free mouthwash after it tested positive for Burkholderia cepacia (B. cepacia), a known cause of infections in hospitalized patients. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has confirmed that at least one hospital patient has become ill from B. cepacia after use of the recalled mouthwash.
