Colgate Palmolive has had to recall all of its Fabuloso cleaning products in North America due to a bacteria contamination risk. About 4.9 million units in the USA and 56,000 units in Canada of various Fubuloso Multi-Purpose Cleaner products were affected.
“We are voluntarily recalling certain Fabuloso products because a preservative was not added at the intended levels during manufacturing. With inadequate preservative, there is a risk of bacteria growth in the recalled products. The recalled products can contain Pseudomonas species bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Pseudomonas fluorescens, which are environmental organisms found widely in soil and water,” said the Fabuloso website.
The cleaning products were sold in-store and online by retailers such as Amazon, Dollar General, Family Dollar, The Home Depot, Sam’s Club and Walmart. Eight products from the Fabuloso range were affected.
“We greatly value the trust that our consumers and their families have in our Fabuloso products. We remain committed to maintaining the highest level of product quality and have taken action to help ensure we live up to those standards."
