Angry Orange Enzyme Stain Removers Recalled Due to Bacterial Contamination Risk

About 1.5 million Angry Orange Enzyme Stain Removers sold nationwide may contain Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria. The product poses a serious infection risk to people with weakened immune systems or underlying lung conditions.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a high-risk pathogen that poses serious infection risk to immunocompromised populations. The source explicitly states no illnesses or injuries have been reported. Per the rubric, a high-risk pathogen without reported illness scores 3 (High).

Plain-English summary

Angry Orange Enzyme Stain Removers (available in Fresh Clean and Orange Twist scents, sold in 24-oz, 32-oz, and 1-gallon sizes) are being recalled because they may contain Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a bacterium found naturally in soil and water.

The bacteria can cause serious infections in people with weakened immune systems, those with external medical devices, or people with underlying lung conditions, if exposed through inhalation, eye contact, or breaks in the skin. People with healthy immune systems are typically unaffected. No illnesses have been reported.

Approximately 1.5 million units were sold nationwide from March 2019 through December 2025 at retailers including Walmart, Target, Home Depot, Meijer, Staples, and TJ Maxx, as well as online through Amazon, Walmart.com, Target.com, AngryOrange.com, and Chewy.com, priced between $4 and $60.
