Massive Laundry Detergent Recall May Impact Missouri
We all do laundry and buy laundry detergent regularly. If you purchase laundry detergent from Amazon, you'll want to keep reading because, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, one brand sold on Amazon has been recalled due to a bacteria risk.
What Detergent Is Being Recalled and Why
Woolite Delecates detergent in 50-fluid-ounce bottles is being recalled because it can contain Pseudomonas species bacteria, including Pusedomonas olevorans, an organism found widely in soil and water. It's not a problem for most healthy individuals. Still, if you have a weakened immune system or an external medical device exposed to the bacteria, it is a serious infection risk. Additionally, the bacteria can enter the body through the eyes or a break in the skin.

How to Get a Refund and Dispose of the Unused Product
