Aromatherapy Spray Sold in U.S. Recalled after Two Deaths

CDC

May contain bacteria that causes serious tropical disease

Officials with the Centres for Disease Control say they believe the bacteria which causes melioidosis infected four people in four states.

Two of the four, including a child in Georgia, died.

The disease is rare in the U.S. but common in South Asia.

The CDC says it believes all four came into contact with Better Homes and Gardens Lavender and Chamomile Essential Oil Infused Aromatherapy Room Spray with Gemstones which is made in India.

The product which was sold in Walmart stores in the U.S. and not Canada, has been taken off store shelves.
