Bacteria in room spray linked to 2 deaths

Walmart is recalling about 3,900 bottles of Better Homes and Gardens Essential Oil Infused Aromatherapy Room Spray with Gemstones in six scents because it may contain dangerous bacteria that can cause death. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found bacteria in the room spray was the same as the bacteria identified in four patients with an infectious disease called melioidosis. Two of the four people have died, including a child.

The room spray was sold from February through October 2021. The CDC recommends that consumers who have the recalled aromatherapy spray in their home do the following:

  • Stop using this product immediately. Do not open the bottle. Do not throw away or dispose of the bottle in the regular trash.
  • Double bag the bottle in clean, clear zip-top bags and place in a small cardboard box. Return the bagged and boxed product to a Walmart store.
  • Wash sheets or linens that the product may have been sprayed on using normal laundry detergent and dry completely in a hot dryer; bleach can be used if desired.
  • Wipe down counters and surfaces that might have the spray on them with undiluted Pine-Sol or similar disinfectant.
  • Limit how much you handle the spray bottle and wash hands thoroughly after touching the bottle or linens. If you used gloves while handling the bottling or cleaning, wash hands afterward.
  • If you have used the product within the past 21 days and have melioidosis symptoms such as fever, abscess, cough, chest pain, headache, disorientation or weight loss, seek medical care and tell your doctor you were exposed to the spray. If you do not have symptoms but were exposed to the product in the last seven days, your doctor may recommend that you get antibiotics to prevent infection.
