The Web site for Clarcon Biological Chemistry Laboratory Inc. boasts that the company’s skin-care products offer “protection like no other.” Now the FDA has given the slogan new meaning.

The agency is telling consumers they should stop using skin products made by the Roy, Utah, company, which the FDA said has launched a voluntary recall of some products sold under a variety of brand names. The products should be thrown out, the FDA said in a statement last night.

The action comes after FDA inspectors found of high levels of disease-causing bacteria during a recent inspection. The findings were “particularly concerning because the products are promoted as antimicrobial agents that claim to treat open wounds, damaged skin, and protect against various infectious diseases,” the agency statement said. Instead, some of the bacteria found could cause infections needing medical or surgical attention, and may result in permanent damage, it warned.

Clarcon couldn’t be reached for comment.

Examples of the products that should be discarded include:

• Citrushield Lotion
• Dermasentials
• DermaBarrier
• Dermassentials by Clarcon Antimicrobial Hand Sanitizer
• Iron Fist Barrier Hand Treatment
• Skin Shield Restaurant
• Skin Shield Industrial
• Skin Shield Beauty Salon Lotion
• Total Skin Care Beauty
• Total Skin Care Work
