Hazard Information

The outer packaging, which is meant to prevent access to the contents, can split open near the zipper track. This poses a risk of serious injury to children and other vulnerable populations if the contents of the laundry detergent packets are ingested, as well as a risk of skin or eye injuries. The recall notice states that ingestion of a large quantity of any surfactant-containing household cleaning products can cause death among individuals with underlying health issues.

No confirmed cases directly relating to this packaging defect were reported. The firm received four reports of children in the United States accessing the liquid laundry packets, three of which reported ingestion during the time period that the recalled lots were sold. It is not known whether these laundry packets came from recalled bags.

Consumer Action Required

Consumers should immediately secure the recalled bags out of sight and reach of children. Consumers should check whether their bag is part of the recall by locating the lot code on the bottom of the package. Recalled lot codes are listed at pg.com/bags. Consumers with recalled bags can submit a photo of the recalled product showing the lot code to participate in the recall.

Official Remedy

Consumers with recalled bags should contact Procter & Gamble for a full refund and a free replacement child-resistant bag to store the product. Consumers can also receive a cabinet lock for securing laundry materials.
