Hazardous levels of potassium hydroxide has moved green cleaning company Ecover to recall certain bottles of Ecover Zero Non Bio Laundry Liquid 1.5 liters with two specific batch codes due to a safety concern. The affected bottles were available for sale within the UK market from November 2020.
The affected bottles contain potassium hydroxide at hazardous levels that can cause the bottle to leak, according to Ecover. Contact with the liquid could result in harm to skin and eyes, including causing skin burns or eye damage. We are taking this risk very seriously, so we are recalling affected bottles from retailers and consumers immediately.
The company was organizing collection of the bottles direct from consumers through a website as well as offering refunds and additional support.
“As an organization that lives and breathes clean, we are deeply disappointed and apologize for this issue. We are resolved to working as hard we can to make this right for our consumers so we can confidently continue together in our clean world revolution,” the company wrote in a press statement announcing the recall.
