4.9 million bottles of Fabuloso are recalled due to potential bacterial contamination

Check your Fabuloso bottles and tell your mami, papi, tía, tío, abuela and abuelo to check theirs, too. Colgate-Palmolive recalled 4.9 million of them in the United States and another 56,000 in Canada. There might be bacterial contamination.

According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recall alert, “people with healthy immune systems are usually not affected by the bacteria,” and no injuries have been reported yet.
