Fabuloso recall: Colgate-Palmolive pulls almost 5 million bottles over bacteria

by

Colgate-Palmolive Co. CL, -0.72% is recalling nearly 5 million bottles of its Fabuloso Multi-purpose Cleaner over the risk of exposure to potentially harmful bacteria.

The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission release warns that the affected cleaners may contain bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Pseudomonas fluorescens, which can harm those with weakened immune systems if ingested.

But people with with healthy or non-weakened immune systems are typically not affected by these bacteria strains, the release says. In fact, both types of bacteria are commonly found in soil and water, according to the consumer product giant.
