1.5 Million Angry Orange Stain Removers Recalled Due to Bacterial Contamination Risk

In a significant move, approximately 1.5 million bottles of a widely used household cleaning product are being recalled due to potential contamination with harmful bacteria. This action was announced by federal regulators, highlighting the importance of consumer safety.

The Boston-based company Thrasio has initiated the recall of its Angry Orange Enzyme Stain Removers after discovering that the products might contain Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This information was shared in a notice released by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) on Thursday.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a bacterium that can pose serious health risks, particularly for individuals with weakened immune systems, lung conditions, or those using external medical devices. The CPSC has issued a warning, stating, “The bacteria can enter the body if inhaled, through the eyes, or through a break in the skin.” Fortunately, healthy individuals are generally not affected by this bacterium.

The recall, identified as number 26-201, specifically targets Angry Orange Enzyme Stain Removers available in Fresh Clean Scent and Orange Twist Scent. These products were sold in various sizes, including 24-ounce, 32-ounce, and one-gallon containers.

These bottles are easily recognizable, featuring a vibrant orange and white design with “Angry Orange” and “Stain & Odor Remover” prominently displayed on the front. Additionally, some recalled items were sold as part of a bundle that included a UV light spray attachment.

The affected products were manufactured in the U.S. and were available for purchase between March 2019 and December 2025, with prices ranging from $4 to $60. They were sold at major retailers across the nation, including Walmart, Target, The Home Depot, Meijer, Staples, and TJ Maxx, as well as online through platforms like Amazon, Walmart, and AngryOrange.com.

Some recalled units were also sold as part of a bundle with a UV light spray attachment, officials said. (U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission)

In addition to the U.S. recall, around 43,700 bottles were also sold in Canada. Thankfully, no injuries or illnesses have been reported in connection with this recall.

Consumers are strongly advised to stop using the recalled products immediately and to contact Thrasio for a full refund. They should also dispose of the product in its original container. The CPSC emphasizes, “Do not empty the product prior to disposal. Do not attempt to recycle the product bottle.”

Angry Orange has not yet responded to requests for comment from FOX Business.
