Recall: Item sold at Lowe's and Home Depot can catch fire
Better Homes & Gardens Gem Room Spray
Recall year: 2021
Deaths: 2
Officials are investigating a Walmart store-brand aromatherapy spray after melioidosis, a rare and serious bacterial disease, recently sickened four people and killed two, including one child. The CDC found the bacteria that causes the disease in a sample of Better Homes & Gardens Gem Room Spray, which was sold in stores and online from February through October. The spray came in six scents and was packaged in a glass bottle. Officials say anyone with the spray should act with extreme caution, putting on gloves, double-bagging the bottle, and placing it inside a box before returning it to Walmart for a refund and a $20 gift card. Linens or surfaces that may have been sprayed with the product should also be washed and disinfected, officials say.
