Mouthwash recall (b cepacia)

I just called my son's Cf coordinator to tell her "Listerine Agent Cool Blue" mouthwash was recalled 04-12-07 and she didn't know. I wanted to make sure everyone knew. It doesn't contain a preservative that prevents b cepacia from contaminating it. Of course, my luck. that's the mouthwash my kids use. My 10 yr old has Cf. He didn't have b cepacia 2 mnths ago and hopefully still won't. If you go on line you'll find info under "Agent Cool Blue"

I posted the original thread regarding this, but had no idea what the "micro-organism" was that had gotten into the mouthwash. Thanks for posting. Scary stuff.

... On another note, does that mean that EVERY no-alcohol mouthwash (such as ACT) runs the risk of having cepacia in it?!?! I use that every day and now I'm really worried!

Sonia, it shouldn't effect all "non-alcohol" mouth washes. As several hosp. still use "non-alcohol" mouth washes. One brand that I use, that is used in hosp. in my area, is by CardinalHealth. I am sure there are others out there that aren't effect by B Cepacia.
