Colgate-Palmolive Recalls Fabuloso Multi-Purpose Cleaners Due to Bacteria Contamination

Products can contain Pseudomonas species bacteria.

Colgate-Palmolive has issued a recall of Fabuloso Multi-Purpose Cleaners. The recalled products can contain Pseudomonas species bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Pseudomonas fluorescens, environmental organisms found widely in soil and water.

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 the eyes, or through a break in the skin. People with healthy immune systems are usually not affected by the bacteria.

Approximately 4.9 million units in the US and about 56,000 in Canada are part of the recall.

The products were sold online at Amazon.com and other websites and at Dollar General, Family Dollar, The Home Depot, Sam’s Club, Walmart and other major retailers nationwide from December 2022 through January 2023 for between $1 and $11.

No Fabuloso Antibacterial variants or other Fabuloso products are impacted by this recall. No incidents/injuries were reported at press time.

For consumers, the first eight digits of the lot code of the recalled products are 2348US78 through 2365US78 and 3001US78 through 3023US78.
