The 15-page product recall lawsuit says that on or around January 22, 2026, Thrasio announced a recall of roughly 1.5 million bottles of its Angry Orange Enzyme Stain Remover due to its contamination with the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Although Thrasio touts its products as chemical-free and “safe to use around your home,” the lawsuit claims that the presence of dangerous bacteria makes the cleaners completely unfit for household use.

According to the filing, contaminated bottles of Angry Orange Enzyme Stain Remover are “adulterated, unsafe, and worthless products that should be discarded.” The lawsuit stresses that exposure to Pseudomonas aeruginosa can be extremely dangerous for individuals who are immunocompromised, use external medical devices, or have preexisting lung conditions.

The products at issue in the lawsuit are the Angry Orange Enzyme Stain Removers in Fresh Clean or Orange Twist scent, which are sold in 24-oz, 32-oz, and 1-gallon bottles.

Tainted bottles of Angry Orange, the case says, were produced anywhere between March 2019 and December 2025.

The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) says consumers who have bought the Angry Orange Enzyme Stain Remover should immediately stop using the product and contact the defendant for a refund. The CPSC has not received any reports of injuries or incidents related to the cleaner, the agency said.

“[Thrasio] failed to adequately design, manufacture, test, inspect, and monitor the production process of the recalled products, allowing contaminated products to enter the stream of commerce on a massive scale,” the class action lawsuit says.

The plaintiff contends that Thrasio’s allegedly negligent conduct meant she was “forced” to buy and potentially be exposed to an unsafe product. The plaintiff, her husband, and their pets were all exposed to the contaminated cleaning products, the lawsuit states, but the plaintiff was “fearful” of a potentially dangerous chemical reaction if she attempted to re-clean areas previously treated with the enzyme cleaner.

Thrasio, the case says, failed consumers by “allowing adulterated products to remain on shelves and in consumer homes for months” before announcing the January recall. While the case says that Thrasio is offering consumers a full refund for qualifying purchases of Angry Orange Enzyme Stain Remover, it contends that a mere refund is not enough to address the inconvenience and risk the contaminated products posed to consumers. 

The Thrasio class action lawsuit seeks to cover all individuals within the United States who purchased bottles of contaminated Angry Orange Enzyme Stain Cleaner that were subject to the January 22, 2026 recall.
