Why does bacterial contamination matter?
CPSC says the cleaners may contain bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an organism found widely in soil and water. People with healthy immune systems are usually not affected.
People with weakened immune systems or external medical devices face a risk of serious infection that may need medical care. The bacteria can enter the body if inhaled, through the eyes, or through a break in the skin.
