    Clorox's Pine-Sol is a disinfectant that is supposed to kill bacteria. Yet here we have Clorox recalling 37 million bottles of Pine-Sol because they could contain 'a bacteria called Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which can harm people with compromised immune systems or people with external medical devices because they pose "a risk of serious infection that may require medical treatment," according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.'

    What the heck.

      I once asked a Pine Sol salesman whether his product would kill Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and he said yes. Something doesn’t add up.

      Education is extremely important.

        @Axtremus said in Clorox recalls Pine-Sol that could contain bacteria:

        Pseudomonas aeruginosa...

        ...is a nasty bug.

        Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common encapsulated, gram-negative, aerobic–facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacterium that can cause disease in plants and animals, including humans.[1][2] A species of considerable medical importance, P. aeruginosa is a multidrug resistant pathogen recognized for its ubiquity, its intrinsically advanced antibiotic resistance mechanisms, and its association with serious illnesses – hospital-acquired infections such as ventilator-associated pneumonia and various sepsis syndromes.

        The organism is considered opportunistic insofar as serious infection often occurs during existing diseases or conditions – most notably cystic fibrosis and traumatic burns. It generally affects the immunocompromised but can also infect the immunocompetent as in hot tub folliculitis. Treatment of P. aeruginosa infections can be difficult due to its natural resistance to antibiotics. When more advanced antibiotic drug regimens are needed adverse effects may result.

        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          Doesn't make sense. Pine sol is an effective disinfectant, killing most all viruses and bacteria. I have seen some Pseudomonas that was resistant to almost all antibiotics, but not one resistant to disinfectants.

            Don’t have any of these products other than the tried and true Pinesol around the house. If I did though I would still be inclined to use the recalled products adding a half half cup of diesel to the bottle and a good shake before using.
