Where it was sold

Why it was recalled

STERIS has identified that certain lots of diluted 4-Zyme may contain bacteria, specifically Pseudomonas fluorescens. The presence of this bacteria can cause the color of the detergent to darken over time. There is an improbable risk to users of the product from exposure to this bacteria, and no risk to patients.

This product could cause temporary or reversible health problems — stop using it.
