What happened

The Clorox Company is recalling three types of Liquid Plumr clog removers sold in 17-ounce bottles because the bottle caps do not meet child-resistant closure requirements. The recalled products are Liquid Plumr Pro-Strength Foaming Clog Fighter (orange bottle with red cap, UPC 044600-002149), Liquid Plumr Pro-Strength Urgent Clear (blue bottle with red cap, UPC 044600-305486), and Liquid Plumr Industrial Strength Urgent Clear (black bottle with red cap, UPC 044600-314846). Only bottles manufactured before March 22, 2016 are affected. Because children can remove the tops, they risk chemical burns and irritation to skin and eyes from the sodium hydroxide contained in these products.

According to the recall notice, consumers should keep the recalled product away from children and immediately contact The Clorox Company's Liquid Plumr call center for disposal and refund instructions.
