Fabuloso recalls nearly 5 million bottles of its all-purpose cleaners due to bacteria risk

Wednesday, February 8, 2023
LOS ANGELES -- The Fabuloso brand has issued a voluntary recall on nearly 5 million bottles of its all-purpose cleaners due to the risk of bacterial growth in those products.

The company announced Wednesday that a preservative "was not added at the intended levels during manufacturing," creating a risk that the recalled products may contain Pseudomonas species bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Pseudomonas fluorescens, which are environmental organisms found widely in soil and water.

People most at risk include those with weakened immune systems, external medical devices or underlying lung conditions, the company said.

The bacteria can enter the body through the eyes, through a break in the skin, or by inhaling it.

The recall covers 4.9 million bottles produced from December 14, 2022, to January 23, 2023.

Check the 12-digit UPC number next to the barcode. Affected batches will have a manufacturing code where the first eight digits begin with 2348US78 through 2365US78 and 3001US78 through 3023US78.
