Spring cleaners, take note: Multi-purpose cleaner recalled
Colgate-Palmolive has recalled certain varieties, sizes and product lots of Fabuloso Multi-Purpose Cleaner due to the risk of exposure to bacteria. Pseudomonas species bacteria, which are environmental organisms found widely in soil and water, may be in the product. 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. The bacteria can enter the body if inhaled, through a break in the skin or through the eyes. People with healthy immune systems are usually not affected by the bacteria.
Bottles of Fabuloso, in multiple scents and sizes, were sold at Dollar General, Family Dollar, The Home Depot, Sam’s Club, Walmart and other major retailers nationwide and online from December 2022 through January 2023 for between $1 and $11.
The first 8 digits of the lot code of the recalled products are 2348US78 through 2365US78 and 3001US78 through 3023US78. The lot code is located on the back of the bottle above the label and may be in the folds of the plastic bottle design. For a complete list of products, visit fabulosorecall.com.
