BOSTON -- A certain type of laundry detergent may be making you sick. Two types of Art of Green laundry detergent have been recalled for possible bacteria contamination.
The recall is for Art of Green Free and Clear detergent that was sold in 100 oz. bottles and the Zen Lavender Garden detergent that was sold in 100 oz. bottles and 33.8 oz. punches. About 14,550 units were sold.
Consumers should stop using the product and can contact AlEn USA for a refund.
