Health Canada issued a notice Friday about a voluntary recall from Procter & Gamble for Tide and Gain laundry detergent pods due to a manufacturing defect that damaged the child-resistant packaging.
The recall says, "The lack of child-resistant packaging could result in unintentional exposure to these products and lead to serious illness or injury."
The recall applies to various Tide pods, including 3-in-1 Clean Breeze and Spring Meadow, and 4-in-1 with Ultra Oxi, as well as Gain Flings Moonlight Breeze. To view the complete list and the products' Universal Product Codes, visit Health Canada's website.
Maker Procter & Gamble said nearly 57,000 pod bags were sold in Canada between September 2023 and February 2024.
No incidents or injuries have been reported as of April 2, according to the company.
Health Canada said customers should move the bags out of sight and reach of children and contact Procter & Gamble for a pre-paid gift card, a cabinet latch, and an empty replacement bag with a child-resistant closure.
