What happened

CR Brands is recalling Mean Green Cleaner and Degreaser products because they are labeled as not containing ammonia, but may actually contain ammonia. The recalled products come in white plastic spray bottles or white or green plastic containers labeled "Mean Green Super Strength Cleaner and Degreaser" or "Mean Green Industrial Strength Cleaner and Degreaser." The affected products have date codes 4225, 4226, 4227, 4228, 4229, or 4230 printed below the label on the bottle, and include 20-ounce and 40-ounce spray bottles and 128-ounce containers in both Super Strength and Industrial Strength formulations.

The mislabeling poses a chemical hazard because mixing ammonia with bleach or other household chemicals can produce irritating or toxic gases. Consumers who have a recalled product should immediately stop using it and return it to the retailer where it was purchased for a replacement.
