Dear Pine-Sol Community.
Pine-Sol is voluntarily recalling certain scented Pine-Sol® cleaners as we learned that some products may contain bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa. People with weakened immune systems or external medical devices who are exposed to Pseudomonas aeruginosa 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.
We are conducting this recall to safeguard your health and wellbeing. Importantly, Original Pine-Sol (Pine scent) is not included in this recall and you may continue to safely use it as intended.
Consumers who have products matching the following description in their possession should stop using it immediately and follow the instructions below to request a refund.
