Scented Pine-Sol products recalled
The Clorox Company is voluntarily recalling select scented Pine-Sol products because they may contain bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, according to a recall notice from the Defense Commissary Agency’s food safety office sent Oct. 25.
Exposure to Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an environmental organism found widely in soil and water, can occur by inhalation, through the eyes, or through a break in the skin. Those with weakened immune systems or external medical devices who are exposed to the bacteria face a risk of serious infection that may require medical treatment. According to the company, those with healthy immune systems are usually not affected by the bacteria.
The Defense Commissary Agency has publicized this recall to all its stores, said Richard Stith, Chief, Public Health Division, DeCA headquarters at Fort Lee, Virginia. Whenever a commissary has recalled or withdrawn products in its inventory, they are immediately removed from store shelves.
