Approximately 16,200 units of laundry detergent are being recalled over a potential bacteria risk. The species of bacteria is said to negatively affect those with a weakened immune system, as they "face a risk of serious infection that may require medical treatment." Those with a healthy immune system are said to not be at risk. The particular bacteria can enter the body through the eyes or a cut in the skin.
While no injuries or incidents have been reported as of March 20, 2025, the company is issuing the recall voluntarily out of caution.
To determine if you have one of the affected products, the CPSC urges customers to check the SKU and lot code on their 50 oz bottle. The SKU is located vertically next to the barcode, and the lot code can be found on the back of the bottle near the pink cap.
If the numbers match those mentioned above, stop using the detergent immediately, and contact Reckitt, Woolite's parent company, via this email address: [e-mail]. In the email, attach an image of your recalled detergent with the word "RECALLED" written on the back of the bottle in black marker with the SKU, barcode and lot code visible.
Once your refund is received, dispose of the detergent by tightly twisting the cap closed and placing it in the trash. Do not empty or recycle the container.
