Customers are also encouraged to contact their local waste disposal authorities for advice on proper disposal methods if needed.
Fabuloso recalled because of bacterial contamination
Fabuloso, a popular multi-purpose cleaner manufactured by Colgate-Palmolive, has been recalled due to bacterial contamination. The company issued the recall after discovering a potential risk of infection from using the product.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued an alert on Monday about the potential for harm from Fabuloso. According to the FDA, consumers should not use or consume any products labeled as Fabuloso because of possible bacterial contamination that could cause illness if ingested or touched with bare skin. Consumers who have purchased this product should throw it away immediately and contact their health care provider if they become ill from using it.
Colgate-Palmolive is advising all customers who have used Fabuloso recently to check their homes for any remaining products and discard them appropriately in order to avoid further exposure to potentially harmful bacteria.
