1.5 Million Bottles of Stain Remover Recalled Nationwide Due to Bacteria Contamination

By Jenna Anderson 

This is box title
* About 1.5 million bottles of Angry Orange stain remover have been recalled nationwide over potential bacteria contamination.
* The items were sold at major retailers including Walmart, Target, Amazon, and more.
* If you have a recalled product, stop using it, request a refund, and throw it away.

A recall is underway for 1.5 million bottles of stain remover sold at major retailers nationwide, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced Thursday. The products, sold under the brand Angry Orange, may contain bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which is widely found in soil and water. Healthy people are usually not affected by this pathogen, but those with weakened immune systems face the risk of a serious infection if they’re exposed.

Which Stain Remover Was Recalled?

The recall affects Angry Orange Enzyme Stain Removers in the Fresh Clean and Orange Twist scents. The products were sold in 24-oz, 32-oz, and 1-gallon bottles, and some units were sold as a bundle with a UV light that attaches to the spray bottle.

They were also available online at Amazon.com, Walmart.com, Target.com, AngryOrange.com, and Chewy.com. About 43,700 bottles were sold in Canada.
