The shampoo recall most likely being referred to is Oribe Serene Scalp Densifying Shampoo , which was voluntarily recalled in the U.S. and Canada because some bottles may be contaminated with bacteria. The recall was reported on July 2, 2026, and affects specific 8.5 oz and 33.8 oz bottles with certain lot codes.

Other shampoo recalls

A few other recent shampoo-related recalls have also been reported:

  • Pilgrim Anti-Dandruff Shampoo and Conditioner was recalled in the UK over a banned ingredient, zinc pyrithione.
  • Tec Italy Shampoo Totale was recalled in 2025 over possible bacterial contamination.
  • Select dry shampoos from several brands were recalled in 2022 over elevated benzene levels.

What to check

If you have a shampoo product you’re worried about, check:

  • The exact brand and product name.
  • The bottle size.
  • The lot code or UPC on the package.
  • The country where it was sold, since recalls can be region-specific.
