Recall alert: 6.3M cleaners recalled due to bacterial contamination
The recall covers cleaners sold by Walmart, Sam's Club and Costco, and consumers are advised to stop use and seek refunds.
- The Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a recall of 6.3 million bottles of Scented Mistolin Dilutable Cleaners and Lestoil Heavy Duty Multi-Purpose Cleaners sold in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands due to potential Pseudomonas aeruginosa contamination.
- While healthy individuals are usually unaffected, the CPSC warns that exposure to Pseudomonas poses serious infection risks for people with weakened immune systems or external medical devices.
- Recalled products were made between April 1, 2025, and June 17, 2026, identifiable by date codes starting with prefix "PR01" followed by a five-digit number between 25091 and 26168.
- Consumers should immediately stop using these cleaners and register at the recall site, submitting photographs of the 12-digit UPC code and bottle date code to receive a refund.
- This contamination mirrors a 2022 incident when the Clorox Manufacturing Company recalled about 37 million Pine-Sol bottles produced at a Georgia facility, raising questions about process controls.
