Massive Pine-Sol Recall

Clorox has issued a nationwide recall for approximately 37 million Pine-Sol products. This recall comes after concerns that these products may contain bacteria. That's not something that you want to spread all over your house. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission:

The recalled products may contain bacteria, including <em>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</em>, an environmental organism found widely in soil and water. People with weakened immune systems or external medical devices who are exposed to <em>Pseudomonas aeruginosa </em>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.

What Products are Recalled?

This recall involves several types of Pine-Sol products. These products include:

Pine-Sol Scented Multi-Surface Cleaners in Lavender Clean, Sparkling Wave, and Lemon Fresh scents
CloroxPro Pine-Sol All Purpose Cleaners, in Lavender Clean, Sparkling Wave, Lemon Fresh, and Orange Energy scents
Clorox Professional Pine-Sol Lemon Fresh Cleaners

You can find these printed on the side of the bottle in black.
