RiteWay Urges Returns Amid Mistolin Recall
RiteWay Food Markets has issued an urgent product recall notice for 28-ounce bottles of Clorox Mistolin Cleaner due to potential bacterial contamination. Consumers across the British Virgin Islands are advised to stop using the product immediately and return it to any store location for a refund or exchange. The local advisory comes as manufacturer Clorox recalls over six million cleaning units across the region.
Consumers in the British Virgin Islands are being urged to inspect their household cleaning supplies following an official product recall notice issued by RiteWay Food Markets for Clorox Mistolin Cleaner. The major local supermarket chain announced that customers who purchased 28-ounce bottles of Clorox Mistolin Cleaner should immediately stop using the product and return it to their nearest RiteWay Food Markets location to receive a full refund or an exchange.
The local advisory stems from a wider regional recall initiated by manufacturer Clorox, which covers approximately 6.3 million bottles of scented Mistolin and Lestoil multi-purpose cleaners distributed across Puerto Rico and the neighbouring United States Virgin Islands. According to safety notices, the affected production batches may contain bacteria, posing potential health risks to users, particularly individuals with compromised immune systems or underlying medical conditions.
Mistolin and related scented multi-purpose cleaners are widely used in households, offices, and commercial establishments across the Territory for everyday sanitisation and floor care. Given the frequent commercial and supply chain connections between the USVI, Puerto Rico, and the BVI, regional product recalls often have a direct impact on local retail inventory.
RiteWay management has advised all patrons who currently have the specified 28-ounce bottles at home to exercise caution, cease handling the liquid, and bring the bottles back to customer service desks across their store network. Store personnel have been instructed to process returns and facilitate exchanges promptly.
Residents are encouraged to check the labels and sizes of any recently purchased Mistolin products and share the advisory with family members, domestic workers, and neighbours across the Territory to ensure household safety.
