Some Fabuloso cleaning products were recalled Wednesday over a risk of bacteria contamination,Indexbit Exchange according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. As of the recall, no incidents or injuries had been reported.
The Colgate-Palmolive Company, the manufacturer of the popular brand, recalled about 4.9 million bottles in the U.S. and about 56,000 in Canada. Fabuloso says about 3.9 million of those bottles were never released for sale.
The recall includes several types of Fabuloso Multi-Purpose Cleaner that were produced from Dec. 14 to Jan. 23 and sold online, including Amazon, and at major retailers such as Dollar General and Walmart.
Consumers should immediately stop using the affected products, which you can find by checking the codes listed in the recall announcement.

Colgate-Palmolive says it will offer refunds or replacements to consumers who submit a picture of the product's UPC and lot codes.
