Laundry Detergent Pods Recalled Due to Defective Outer Bags

Procter & Gamble is recalling 8.2 Million units of Tide Pods, Gain Flings, Ace Pods and Ariel Pods liquid laundry detergent packets packaged in flexible film bags due to defective bags.  The outer packaging meant to prevent access to the contents can split open near the zipper track, posing a risk of serious injury to children and other vulnerable populations if the contents of the laundry detergent packets are ingested, as well as posing a risk of skin or eye injuries. Ingestion of a large quantity of any surfactant-containing household cleaning products can cause death among individuals with underlying health issues.

There have been no confirmed cases of incidents or injuries directly relating to this packaging defect. P&G has received four reports of children in the United States accessing the liquid laundry packets, three of which reported ingestion during the time period that the recalled lots were sold, but it is not known if these laundry packets came from recalled bags.

Back in the day, we would just put the pods in another container when the outer bag rips, and how many end up tearing the bag when opening it anyway.  And who stores it where kids can get at it?  But there is a risk for some we guess.  In the end, how many who have purchased the product are doing that, pouring it into another container, and then returning the outer package to the store.  This can be a very costly recall.
