Henkel Capital is recalling 1,068 bottles of its Tec Italy Shampoo Totale, a professional-grade shampoo, because it can be contaminated with the bacteria Klebsiella oxytoca, the company said Tuesday.

Microbial analysis by the company discovered the bacterial contamination.
The Tec Italy Shampoo Totale shampoo came in 33.81 fl. oz./1 L bottles.
Distributors in New York and California supplied the shampoo across the U.S.
There have been no reported injuries.
