What You Need To Know About the Dangerous Reason Pine-Sol Is Being Recalled
When we head to the store to buy a bottle of Pine-Sol, it’s usually because we’re trying to get our floors, countertops, and bathrooms seriously clean. But unfortunately Clorox, the company that makes Pine-Sol cleaning products, just announced a huge recall of their products because they might actually contain bacteria that can spread around and be inhaled while cleaning. Make it make sense!
The company announced that they were recalling 37 million bottles of various Pine-Sol products, which were sold on Amazon and at various retailers accross the country. It’s suspected that the cleaners might contain the bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and, according to the Pine-Sol recall website, “eople 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.”
