8 Million Laundress Products Recalled Over Bacteria Risk

Eleven consumers have reported bacterial infections, the commission said. The company said it was investigating whether the infections were connected to the recalled products.

“Symptoms may range from mild skin symptoms to more serious signs of infection,” the company said.

The company said customers could continue using the Laundress products not included in the recall.

“We are undertaking decisive steps with our suppliers to ensure production processes meet our safety and quality standards,” the company said.

The products were sold directly by the Laundress, as well as at Bloomingdale’s, Brooklinen, the Container Store, Jenni Kayne, Kith, N.Peal, Nordstrom, Peruvian Connection, Saks Fifth Avenue, Target and other major retailers in the United States and Canada, the commission said. Consumers can request a refund.
