We Are Ready To Fight For You

In December 2022, The Laundress issued a recall for an estimated eight million cleaning products after it was found they were contaminated with bacteria. In February 2023, Colgate-Palmolive issued a recall for nearly five million of its Fabuloso products due to contamination with the same bacteria. If you or someone you love was sickened after using these products, you may be entitled to compensation for the harm you have suffered. Call Williams Cedar at (215) 557-0099, or use our contact form, for a free case evaluation.

The Reason For the Recalls

The products were recalled after it was discovered they were contaminated with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. While this bacteria is not normally harmful to humans, it can cause severe illness in people with respiratory problems, people who have compromised immune systems (such as people with diabetes, cancer, or HIV), as well as anyone exposed to the bacteria through their eyes or a break in the skin (such as from a cut or burn).

What You Should Do if You Have a Recalled Product

If you have a recalled product from Fabuloso or The Laundress, you should immediately stop using it and seal it to prevent accidental exposure. You should also see a doctor as soon as possible if you have any of the above symptoms, and test for a potential Pseudomonas infection. 

Contact Williams Cedar if you have been exposed to the Laundress or Fabuloso bacteria and have become sickened. Call our New Jersey and Pennsylvania offices at (215) 557-0099, or visit our contact page.
