09 Apr 2024 --- Procter & Gamble (P&G) has voluntarily recalled its Tide Pods, Gain Flings, Ace Pods and Ariel Pods liquid laundry detergent packets throughout the US. All products are packaged in flexible film bags, but the risk of damage means consumers are at constant risk of toxic exposure to detergent materials. The company says the outer packaging — meant to prevent access to the contents — can split open near the zipper track, posing “a risk of serious injury to children and other vulnerable populations” if the contents of the laundry packets are ingested. Skin or eye injuries are also a risk of contact.
