HOUSTON — Fabuloso® said on its website that it is voluntarily recalling some of its multi-purpose cleaners because a preservative was not added at the intended levels during manufacturing.
The absence of the preservative could lead to bacteria growth in the recalled products, the company said.
“Therefore, the recalled products can contain Pseudomonas species bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Pseudomonas fluorescens, which are environmental organisms found widely in soil and water,” the website said.
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, according to the company.
The bacteria can be inhaled, enter through the eyes, or through a break in the skin. People with healthy immune systems are usually not affected by the bacteria, the company said.
The recall affects 4.9 million bottles produced from Dec. 14, 2022, through Jan. 23, 2023. About 3.9 million of the recalled bottles -- or about 80% -- were never released for sale.
“We greatly value the trust that our consumers and their families have in our Fabuloso® products,” the company said on its website. “We remain committed to maintaining the highest level of product quality and have taken action to help ensure we live up to those standards.”
Those who purchased the product during those times can see the recall list and find out how to be reimbursed.
Fabuloso® Antibacterial multi-purpose cleaning products and certain other variants of Fabuloso® multi-purpose cleaning products are not included in this recall, which the company also listed on its website.
