Approximately 5 million bottles of cleaning products are being recalled due to potential contamination with dangerous bacteria.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission stated that the recall affects Fabuloso multi-purpose cleaners, but does not include Fabuloso Antibacterial variants or other Fabuloso products.
These recalled products were sold at major retailers nationwide, including Walmart and The Home Depot, as well as online at Amazon.com and other websites, from December 2022 to January 2023, priced between $1 and $11.
The recall was prompted by Fabuloso’s discovery that a preservative was not added at the required levels during production, resulting in a risk of bacterial growth. The recalled products may contain Pseudomonas species bacteria, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Pseudomonas fluorescens, which are commonly found in the environment and can enter the body through inhalation, the eyes, or cuts in the skin.
This recall involves certain Fabuloso Multi-Purpose Cleaners, which is a multi-purpose cleaner that can be used to clean most residential hard surfaces.
