Warning: Recall Of Popular Laundry Soap Available in Montana

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has announce a recall of a very popular laundry soap that is available in multiple stores across Montana. The company Procter & Gamble has issued a recall of 8 million packages of Tide, Gain, Ace and Ariel Laundry Detergents.

The recall is for the products that are packaged in the "flexible film bags". The issue is the bags can split in the back near the zipper track. Children can then easily access the laundry detergent packages. If these packages are ingested, it can cause illness, or in some cases of ingesting a large quantity of the product it can cause death in people with underlying health issues. It can also cause eye and skin irritation if people can come into contact with the detergent filled packages.

This recall contains certain lot codes of Tide Pods, Gain Flings, Ace Pods, and Ariel Pods liquid laundry detergent that are packaged in the "flexible film bags". They were lots manufactured between September 2023 and February 2024. The bags are the ones that contain between 12 and 39 laundry detergent packets.

The recommendation is to immediately secure the bags out of sight and reach of children. You can then contact Procter & Gamble and receive a full refund, as well as a child resistant bag to store the product. Procter & Gamble is also offering a cabinet lock to secure cleaning supplies.

These products are sold at Wal Mart, Target, and Home Depot's across Montana and online at Amazon.com.
