Procter & Gamble Recalls 8.2 Million Defective Bags of Tide & Gain Detergent Pods. Here’s How To Get A Refund.

If you use Tide Pods or Gain Flings liquid laundry detergent packets, you need to check the bags as 8.2 million defective bags have been recalled by Procter & Gamble. The recall applies to pods packaged in flexible film bags.

The outer packaging meant to prevent access to the contents can split open near the zipper track. That makes them difficult to close and poses a risk of serious injury to children and others if the contents of the laundry detergent packets are ingested.
