There is a huge recall involving a popular brand of multi-purpose cleaners. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) says consumers should stop using Fabuloso Multi-Purpose Cleaners due to a bacteria risk.

The CPSC says the recalled products can contain pseudomonas species bacteria. This may impact people with weakened immune systems. The bacteria can enter the body if inhaled, through the eyes, or through a break in the skin. People with healthy immune systems are usually not affected by the bacteria.
