Plain-English summary
This CPSC recall involves Angry Orange Enzyme Stain Removers in Fresh Clean Scent and Orange Twist Scent, sold in 24-oz, 32-oz and 1-gallon sizes. The record states the bottles are orange and white with "Angry Orange" and "Stain & Odor Remover" written on the front, and that some units were sold as a bundle with a UV light that attaches to the spray bottle.
The record states the recalled products can contain bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an environmental organism found widely in soil and water. People with weakened immune systems, external medical devices, or underlying lung conditions who are exposed to Pseudomonas aeruginosa face a risk of serious infection that may require medical treatment. The record states the bacteria can enter the body if inhaled, through the eyes, or through a break in the skin, and that people with healthy immune systems are usually not affected.

They were sold at Walmart, Target, The Home Depot, Meijer, Staples, TJ Maxx and other major retailers nationwide, and online at Amazon.com, Walmart.com, Target.com, AngryOrange.com and Chewy.com from March 2019 through December 2025 for between $4 and $60. No injuries or incidents have been reported.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled products and contact Thrasio for a full refund. The record states consumers should photograph the product with "recalled" and their initials written on it and email the photo to the address given in the notice, then dispose of the product in its container with household trash, without emptying it and without recycling the bottle.
