Approximately 550,000 units of Arm & Hammer, Capture, Healthy Home, Oreck, Resista, and Riccar dry carpet cleaning powders have been recalled because they can contain harmful bacteria. These powders, sold in various sizes ranging from 1-pound bottles to 9-pound pails, were distributed nationwide between July 2015 and September 2016. No incidents or injuries have been reported, but Milliken is offering a free replacement to affected consumers. Consumers should stop using the cleaning powder immediately and contact the manufacturer for instructions on receiving a replacement.
Exposure to the bacteria in these products poses a serious risk of respiratory and other infections, particularly for individuals with weakened immune systems. While healthy individuals are generally unaffected, the presence of harmful bacteria in a household cleaning product creates a risk of environmental contamination and infection through contact or inhalation.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled dry carpet cleaner and contact Milliken to receive a free replacement.
