Approximately 1.5 million bottles of Angry Orange stain remover have been recalled nationwide in the United States, with an additional 43,700 bottles recalled in Canada, due to potential bacteria contamination. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced this recall, highlighting that the affected products may contain bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a bacterium commonly found widely in soil and water. While healthy people are usually not affected by this pathogen, those with weakened immune systems face the risk of a serious infection if they are exposed. This potential health risk is the primary reason for the immediate recall of the popular stain remover products.

The recall specifically impacts Angry Orange Enzyme Stain Removers in both Fresh Clean and Orange Twist scents. These products were sold in various bottle sizes, including 24-ounce, 32-ounce, and 1-gallon containers. Furthermore, some units were sold as a bundle that included a UV light designed to attach to the spray bottle, which can help in identifying the affected merchandise.

Consumers purchased these recalled stain removers from March 2019 through December 2025 at a wide array of major retailers across the nation. These retailers include Walmart, Target, The Home Depot, Meijer, Staples, TJ Maxx, and PetSmart. Online purchases were also affected, with the products sold on platforms such as Amazon.com, Walmart.com, Target.com, AngryOrange.com, and Chewy.com.

If you possess any of the recalled Angry Orange stain remover products, it is imperative to stop using it immediately. Consumers are instructed to contact the company for a full refund. The refund process requires consumers to take a photograph of the product with the word “recalled” and their initials clearly written on it in marker. This image should then be emailed to [email protected]. Following this, the contaminated product should be safely disposed of in the trash.
