Fabuloso Multi-Purpose Cleaner Recall: A Risk of Bacterial Growth
Fabuloso, a multi-purpose cleaner owned by Colgate-Palmolive, has announced the recall of nearly 5 million bottles due to the risk of bacterial growth. The recall was initiated after a preservative was not added at the intended levels during manufacturing, resulting in the growth of Pseudomonas species, a bacteria found widely in soil and water.
The US Consumer Product Safety Commission has warned that people with weakened immune systems, external medical devices or underlying lung conditions are most at risk. The bacteria can enter the body if inhaled, through the eyes, or through a break in the skin.
The 4.9 million bottles of the cleaner were manufactured between December 14, 2022 and January 23, 2023 and were sold at various retailers, including Amazon, Dollar General, Home Depot, Sam’s Club, and Walmart. 3.9 million bottles were never released for sale. The first eight digits of the lot code of the recalled products are 2348US78 to 2365US78 and 3001US78 to 3023US78.
Fabuloso is advising affected customers to immediately stop using the recalled product and to dispose of it in its container. Customers can obtain a refund by visiting a special website or by calling the company at 1-855-703-0166.
