Walmart is recalling about 3,900 bottles of Better Homes and Gardens Essential Oil Infused Aromatherapy Room Spray with Gemstones, sold in six different scents between February 2021 and October 2021. The recall was initiated after testing found the 5-ounce glass bottles contained dangerous bacteria that can cause a rare and potentially fatal disease. Consumers should immediately stop using the spray and return it to any Walmart store for a full refund and a $20 gift card.
The room spray contains Burkholderia pseudomallei bacteria, which causes melioidosis, a condition that is difficult to diagnose and can be fatal. Four cases of melioidosis, including two deaths (one involving a child), have been investigated in Kansas, Minnesota, Texas, and Georgia.
Consistent with CDC recommendations, consumers should immediately stop using the recalled room spray, double bag the bottle in clean, clear zip-top resealable bags, place it in a small cardboard box and return it to any Walmart store for a full refund. Do not open the bottle. Do not attempt to throw away or dispose of the bottle. Customers will also receive a $20 Walmart Gift Card upon return.
