LAUNDRESS LAUNDRY DETERGENT INJURY RECALL & LAWSUITS

Laundry Detergent

Neumann Law Group is actively exploring cases against Laundress and its manufacturer, Unilever following a recall because of bacterial contamination in its laundry detergent and other products, including soaps and cleaning products. The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (“CPSC”) announced the recall of around 8,000,000 units of Laundress produces after a complaint filed in November 2022, prompted the Laundress to realize the dangers of their products. The Laundress recall extends from the United States into Canada.

The November 2022, complaint claims that Laundress marketed the cleaners as luxury and non-toxic, despite containing the undisclosed, deadly chemicals. Laundress reveals on its website that their products contain bacteria “including Burkholderia cepacia complex, Klebsiella aerogenes, and multiple different species of Pseudomonas, many of which are environmental organisms found widely in soil and water”. Pseudomonas can be especially dangerous because they are antibiotic resistant. Left untreated, all of these bacterial contaminants can be deadly.

These Laundress bacteria are commonly acquired through the eyes, inhalation, and broken skin. The symptoms and side-effects are particularly severe in those with weaker immune systems, those using surgical equipment (e.g., insulin pumps or Ozempic medication), and those with other long-lasting illnesses. So far, almost a dozen people have come forward with claims for injuries against Laundress laundry detergent and other Laundress cleaning products.

Laundress is offering users refunds and product replacements in attempts to diminish their responsibility to compensate those that they injured. Before contacting Laundress, you should contact a qualified products liability attorney to ensure that your rights are protected!
