Clorox recalls cleaning products, may contain bacteria; Here’s what you need to know
The Clorox Company said Tuesday it has recalled Pine-Sol All Purpose Cleaners as well as multi-surface cleaners.
The recall doesn’t include the original pine-scented Pine-Sol, which is its only product registered as a disinfectant.
The products recalled include scented CloroxPro Pine-Sol All Purpose Cleaners and Clorox Professional Pine-Sol Lemon Fresh Cleaners, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said in a statement.
The products “may contain bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an environmental organism found widely in soil and water,” the commission said.
No illnesses have been linked to the recall. However, people with weakened immune systems are at greater risk if exposed to the bacteria-contaminated products.
“The bacteria can enter the body if inhaled, through the eyes, or through a break in the skin. People with healthy immune systems are usually not affected by the bacteria,” the commission said.
If your product has the prefix “A4″ followed by a five-digital number less than 22249, it’s part of the recall. The products were sold in bottles ranging from 28-ounce to 175-ounce. The recalled products were manufactured at a Georgia facility.
Here are the products:
Pine-Sol Scented Multi-Surface Cleaners
- Lavender Clean
- Sparkling Wave
- Lemon Fresh
CloroxPro Pine-Sol All-Purpose Cleaners
- Lavender Clean
- Sparkling Wave
- Lemon Fresh
- Orange Energy
