CURiO Brands of Minneapolis, Minn., is recalling about 59,000 containers of Capri Blue pet sprays and shampoos.
The products can contain bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an environmental organism found widely in soil and water.
People with weakened immune systems or external medical devices who are exposed to Pseudomonas aeruginosa face a risk of serious infection that may require medical treatment.
Those with healthy immune systems are usually not affected by the bacteria.
The company is aware of reported infections with eleven dogs and is investigating these reports to see if there is any connection to the recalled products.
This recall involves all Capri Blue Deodorizing Pet Bedding Spray, Capri Blue Waterless Foaming Shampoo, Capri Blue Deodorizing Fragrance Spritz and Capri Blue Detangling and Conditioning Spray.
The spray bottles are blue and white. “capri BLUE” and the product name are printed on the label.
The pet products, manufactured in the U.S., were sold at specialty stores and online at http://www.capri-blue.com from June through August 2023 for between $14 and $20.
