Clorox Puerto Rico Mistolin and Lestoil cleaners recalled for bacterial contamination risk

POISONINGNationwide distributionConsumer goodsChemicals

What this means

Clorox Puerto Rico is recalling about 6.3 million bottles of scented Mistolin and Lestoil cleaners sold in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The products may contain Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria, which can cause serious infections in people with weakened immune systems or external medical devices if the bacteria is inhaled, touches the eyes, or enters through a break in the skin. People with healthy immune systems are typically unaffected.

  • Stop using the recalled cleaners immediately.
  • Check your bottle: only scented varieties with date codes starting with 'PR01' followed by a five-digit number between 25091 and 26168 are affected.
  • Register at https://mistolinrecall.expertinquiry.com/ with photos of the 12-digit UPC code and date code to receive a full refund.
  • Dispose of the product in its original container with household trash.

Hazard

The recalled products may contain bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which is an environmental organism found widely in soil and water. People 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. People with healthy immune systems are usually not affected by the bacteria.

Remedy

Consumers should stop using the recalled cleaners immediately. Consumers will be asked to register at https://mistolinrecall.expertinquiry.com/ and submit a picture of the 12-digit UPC code printed on the label and a picture of the date code printed on the side of the bottle and dispose of the product in its container with household trash. Consumers registering bottles in the affected scents with date codes printed on the bottle beginning with PR01 and followed by a five-digit number between 25091 and 26168 will receive a full refund of the purchase price, with receipt or of the manufacturer’s suggested retail price, without receipt.
