Spectrum Brands Pet Care has recalled approximately 102,000 units of FURminator deShedding Ultra Premium Dog Conditioner (1 Gallon) because the product may contain Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria. The affected conditioner is sold in clear one-gallon containers with a black label and was available at PetSmart stores and online at Amazon.com, Chewy.com, and Petsmart.com from January 2022 through April 2024. Consumers should immediately stop using the product and follow specific disposal and registration steps to receive a full refund.
The bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa can cause serious infections in people with weakened immune systems or external medical devices if inhaled or if it enters the body through the eyes or broken skin. While no injuries have been reported to date, the company has received four reports of mold developing inside the product containers.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled pet conditioner and contact the firm to receive a full refund. Do not empty the product prior to disposal or pour the product down the toilet or drain. Consumers should mark the product with the word "Recalled", upload a picture of the product's UPC, date, and customer initials, then upload a photo of the disposed product in the trash online at www.prodprotect.com/recall/FURminator. Upon successful registration, the firm will issue a refund to purchasers.
Lot numbers are printed on the bottom of the container.
