The company will provide consumers with a corrected label.

Compare Brands LLC, of Fort Wayne, Indiana, is recalling about 2,420 bottles of ADIOS! Super Vinegar All Natural Cleaner, 30%, because the product violates the Federal Hazardous Substances Act. The cleaner is deceptively labeled as “Safe to Use” and lacks the required cautionary statements for a poison, posing a risk of poisoning and chemical burns to consumers (CPSC Recall Notice, No. 24-247, May 30, 2024).

Incidents and injuries. No incidents or injuries have been reported.

The product was sold in a 16 oz. white bottle with a blue cap.
