Over 8 million bags of Tide Pods, other detergents recalled

Tide Pod maker Procter and Gamble is recalling more than 8 million bags of laundry detergent because the individual pods' packaging could break, making it easier for people to accidentally ingest its contents. 

The recall covers 8.2 million packages of Tide Pods, Gain Flings, Ace Pods and Ariel Pods, all types of liquid laundry detergent packet products, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission's recall notice. 

The detergent is packaged in flexible film bags that can split open, posing a risk of injury, particularly to children, if the packs' contents are ingested. Exposure to the pods' contents can also cause skin or eye injuries.
