Clorox Co CLX is recalling several of its Pine-Sol cleaning products after the U.S. consumer safety regulator discovered bacteria.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) said that testing has identified bacteria in recalled products, including those produced between January 2021 and September 2022.
According to the Commission, the recalled products may contain bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an environmental organism found in soil and water.
People with weakened immune systems or external medical devices exposed to Pseudomonas aeruginosa face a risk of serious infection that may require medical treatment.
Clorox produced about 37 million recalled products in that period, it added.
Price Action: CLX shares are down 1.36% at $138.55 premarket on the last check Wednesday.
