What happened

Milliken has recalled dry carpet cleaning powder in six brands—Arm & Hammer, Capture, Healthy Home, Oreck, Resista, and Riccar—because the product can contain harmful bacteria that poses a risk of respiratory and other infections in people with weakened immune systems. Consumers with healthy immune systems are generally not affected by the bacteria. The recalled products were sold in various sizes, and affected lot numbers are identified on stickers on each container with a letter followed by a five-digit lot number. Capture and Resista products were also sold as part of cleaning kits that included a pre-mist spray and brush.

According to the recall record, consumers who have purchased the recalled dry carpet cleaners should immediately stop using the product and contact Milliken to receive a free replacement.
