Cleaning Products Tainted With Micro-Virus That Can Kill

The massive recall was issued after several lots were found to be contaminated with a microbe called Burkholderia cepecia. Health officials say this virus can easily spread from person to person and is difficult to treat, especially in people who are immunocompromised or who have cystic fibrosis or chronic lung disease.

"Risk Statement: Burkholderia Cepacia Complex in these products may result in serious and life-threatening infections," the FDA states.

Healthy people will likely deal with local infections. Immunocompromised people will get an infection that is more likely to spread into blood bloodstream, leading to life-threatening sepsis, officials say.
