1. Fabuloso Multi‑Purpose Cleaners
In February 2023, Colgate‑Palmolive recalled millions of Fabuloso cleaners after preservative issues allowed bacterial growth, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The recall included popular scents like Lemon, Lavender, and Passion Fruit. Yet you can still find them on Amazon and major retailers.
