Procter & Gamble just announced a major recall that impacts some of their most popular laundry detergent brands like Tide, Gain, Ace, and Ariel.

This voluntary recall was issued because the product packets had a defective seal and may not close properly. This can result in the product leaking out onto your floor or countertops, posing a risk to children, pets, and other vulnerable family members. Contact with this product can result in irritation to the skin and eyes, and ingesting a large amount may even result in death for those with underlying health issues.

Though no cases have been reported that are directly related to the defective packaging, 3 reports were made of children ingesting liquid detergent stored in packets. For your safety, It is best to heed this warning.

If you bought any of the recalled products, Procter & Gamble wants to make it right. They are offering customers a prepaid debit card for the amount of the product, a replacement bag with proper seal, and a cabinet lock to keep your laundry supplies extra secure.
