Procter & Gamble is recalling about 8.2 million bags of Tide Pods, Gain Flings, Ace Pods, and Ariel Pods liquid laundry detergent packets manufactured between September 2023 and February 2024. The outer film packaging intended to be child-resistant can split open near the zipper track, allowing children and other vulnerable individuals access to the hazardous detergent packets. Consumers should immediately secure the recalled bags out of sight and reach of children and contact the manufacturer for a full refund and a free replacement child-resistant storage bag.
The defective packaging can split open, posing a risk of serious injury or death if the detergent is ingested, as well as risks of chemical burns to the skin or eyes. While there are no confirmed injuries from this specific defect, the firm has received four reports of children in the U.S. accessing laundry packets during the period these bags were sold, including three reports of ingestion.
Consumers should immediately secure the recalled bags out of sight and reach of children and contact Procter & Gamble for a full refund and a free replacement child-resistant bag to store the product.
