The items range from bags with 12 to 39 laundry detergent packets. They were manufactured between September 2023 and February 2024.

Reason For Recall

The outer packaging, which is meant to prevent access to the contents, can split open near the zipper track, officials say.

This can pose a "risk of serious injury to children and other vulnerable populations if the contents of the laundry detergent packets are ingested."

"Ingestion of a large quantity of any surfactant-containing household cleaning products can cause death among individuals with underlying health issues." the Consumer Product Safety Commission stated.
