The recalled products include 4.9 million bottles in the U.S., and 56,000 in Canada, produced between December 14, 2022, and January 23, 2023. According to the statement, the risk of bacteria is due to a lack of preservatives not added at the correct levels during the manufacturing process.

The statement said the types of bacteria that could potentially grow in the bottles are 'Pseudomonas species bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Pseudomonas fluorescens'. The environmental organisms are usually found widely in soil and water. It is unlikely that the bacteria could pose a medical risk to people with healthy immune systems, Fabuloso's recall statement said. However, it warned: 'People with weakened immune systems, external medical devices, or underlying lung conditions who are exposed to the bacteria face a risk of serious infection that may require medical treatment.' Both Fabuloso and the Consumer Product Safety Commission said: 'The bacteria can enter the body if inhaled, through the eyes, or through a break in the skin.' The Consumer Product Safety Commission said retailers included Amazon, Dollar General, Family Dollar, The Home Depot, Sam’s Club, Walmart, as well as other major retailers nationwide. The cleaning products cost between $1 and $11.
