The product has been distributed to its retail locations in provinces across Canada, including Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Ontario, and Saskatchewan.

The wash has also been sold internationally and in the US through online sales.

Saje explains that there have been three reported cases of allergic rashes or itching. Customers were asked if they wanted further follow up from the company, however, they all declined.

Anyone who has received or purchased the baby wash in any size or format is asked to return the product to a retail outlet for a full refund.

“On behalf of Saje, I wholeheartedly apologize for potentially putting you or your loved ones at risk. I remain committed to our mission of global wellness and am dedicated to upholding the highest quality standards for our community.”
