Recall notice
United States
The Laundress New York issued a safety notice to stop using all their products due to the potential presence of elevated levels of bacteria in some of its products. These Bateria identified in product testing are so-called "opportunistic" pathogens, including Pseudomonas, which occur naturally in water and soil. At the levels detected, these types of bacteria could present a risk of infection. To date, they are not aware of any adverse health impacts related to this issue.You can see the list of the affected products here: www.thelaundresssafetynotice.com/_files/ugd/b51df1_3cf5409a22024f989bde5ff2e8522483.pdf
The Laundress advises consumers to not use their products no matter if the product is or is not on the affected product list until their work with the US Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada is complete. The investigation is ongoing.
People with a healthy immune system are usually not affected by these bacteria. People with weakened immune systems or external medical devices who are exposed to Pseudomonas face a risk of serious infection that may require medical treatment. The bacteria can enter the body if inhaled, through the eyes, or through a break in the skin.
In case you experience harm from this product, it is important to report it. It can help to detect & resolve issues and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance. If symptoms persist, seek medical care.
