Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an environmental organism found widely in soil and water. Those 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.

The recall involves approximately 6.3 million units of scented Mistolin Dilutable Cleaners in Alegra tu Día, Espíritu Play, Flores de Primavera, Fresco Despertar, Frescura de Lavanda, Frescura Tropical, Manzana y Canela, Pino y Especias and Sólo para Ti scents and scented Lestoil Heavy Duty Multi-Purpose Cleaners in Energía del Yunque, Fuerza de Lavanda Tropical, Intenso Limon Boricua and Olas de Rincón scents.

The impacted products have date codes beginning with the prefix “PR01” and followed by a five-digit number between 25091 and 26168. The products, which were housed in bottles of 28, 40, 64 and 128 fluid ounces, were sold at Walmart, Sam’s Club, Costco, Supermercados Econo, Supermercados Selecto and other major retailers.
