Walmart recalls room spray for "rare and dangerous" bacteria linked to 2 deaths
CBSN
Walmart is recalling room spray sold nationwide due to the possible presence of what federal regulators called a "rare and dangerous" bacteria that is linked to two deaths, including a child.
The retailer sold about 3,900 bottles of Better Homes and Gardens-branded-Essential Oil Infused Aromatherapy Room Spray with Gemstones in six different scents, according to a recall notice posted Friday by the Consumer Protection Safety Commission.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention tested a sample of the product this week and found it contained the bacteria Burkholderia pseudomallei, which causes melioidosis, a rare but serious disease with about a dozen cases reportedly annually in the U.S.
