The bottles may be contaminated with a Pseudomonas species of bacteria — either Pseudomonas aeruginosa or Pseudomonas fluorescens.

Both can be found in soil and water but can cause infection, especially in people with weakened immune systems, external medical devices or underlying lung conditions, according to the CPSC.

The recalled products have a lot code starting with 2348US78 through 2365US78, and 3001US78 through 3023US78. The lot code can be found on the back of the bottle, above the label and either directly above or at the top of the bottle.

The ones that were released for sale were sold at Dollar General, Family Dollar, The Home Depot, Sam’s Club, Walmart and other retailers, and online at Amazon.com, according to the CPSC.

There are several varieties of Fabuloso sold outside of the U.S. Information about those impacted products can be found on the recall website.

Fabuloso antibacterial and other Fabuloso products are not part of the recall.
