Recently, the Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a recall of aromatherapy spray products. These products were sold in 55 Walmart locations nationwide. They have been linked to a rare bacterial infection, and a few cases have even been fatal. Walmart and USPC began recalling these products on October 22, 2021, following a test that found a bottle containing a rare bacterium that could cause an infection. The CDC advised consumers to stop using any products with these ingredients, and to contact a pharmacy to get a refund.

Another recall was made on the Better Homes & Gardens Lavender & Chamomile Aromatherapy Room Spray with Gemstones, which was sold in Walmart stores nationwide. This product tested positive for a bacterium called burkholderia pseudomallei, a form of parasitic worm that typically lives in south Asia. If you are concerned about the CDC’s latest report, you can contact Slater & Zurz, a company that helps people recover from these infections.

This latest discovery has led to a recall of all Better Homes and Gardens essential oil infused aromatherapy room spray with Gemstones Lavender & Chamomile scent. The CDC has confirmed the presence of the bacteria, and is working with state health departments to determine whether other patients in the US have been exposed to the same fragrances. The company that makes the products, which are manufactured in India, has ceased selling them in all U.S. Walmart locations.

Walmart is recalling 3,900 bottles of Better Homes and Gardens brand aromatherapy room spray. The CDC confirmed a genetic match with the person who had contracted the bacteria. The bacterium that causes melioidosis is rare but deadly. The CDC has notified those consumers affected by the recall. It is important to keep these essential oil products away from children and the elderly. If you think you may have bought a contaminated product, stop using it immediately.
