Approximately 8 million laundry and cleaning products sold by The Laundress have been recalled.
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the products may contain harmful bacteria.
"People with weakened immune systems, external medical devices, and underlying lung conditions who are exposed to the bacteria face a risk of serious infection that may require medical treatment," the CPSC said in a statement.
An investigation is reportedly being conducted after 11 consumers reported infections.
Officials say the bacteria can enter the body through the eyes, a break in the skin or by being inhaled.
The products were sold online at TheLaundress.com and on Amazon.
