- Bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa can cause infections in humans.
- Consumers urged to stop use and seek a full refund immediately.
More than 1.5 million bottles of Angry Orange Enzyme Stain Removers have been recalled nationwide and in Canada. The recall was issued by the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission due to the potential presence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria. This bacteria, commonly found in water and soil, can cause infections in humans.
The recalled cleaning sprays were sold in various sizes and scents from March 2019 through December 2025. Affected products were available at major retailers like Walmart, Target, and Amazon. While no illnesses have been reported, the CPSC urges consumers to stop using the spray immediately.
Consumers should contact Thrasio, the owner of the Angry Orange brand, for a complete refund. Pseudomonas aeruginosa can lead to infections of the ear, eye, skin, or lungs, with symptoms ranging from fatigue and headache to fever and chills. Individuals with compromised immune systems are at a higher risk.
