Pseudomonas bacteria could enter the body if inhaled, if it gets in the eyes, or through a break in the skin. People with healthy immune systems are not usually affected by the bacteria.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said that consumers who have the recalled cleaner should stop using it and contact Colgate-Palmolive for a refund or replacement product by taking a picture of the cleaner’s UPC and lot code, filling out a recall form on the recall website, and throwing the cleaner away.
A full list of affected UPC and lot codes also are available on the recall website.
No incidents connected to the cleaners have been reported, the commission said.
