The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a recall due to the possible presence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, "an environmental organism found widely in soil and water.
“People with weakened immune systems or external medical devices who are exposed to Pseudomonas aeruginosa face a risk of serious infection that may require medical treatment,’ according to CPSC.
The bacteria can enter the body if inhaled, through the eyes, or through a break in the skin, officials said. People with healthy immune systems are usually not affected by the bacteria.
