There may be some reaction between the bleach and the oxygen booster.
Try washing those whites again using a box of Rit ( You know, like Rit dye?)
They make one to whiten whites. It will say WHITES on the box. ( Walmart carries it)
Follow the directions exactly... don't improvise by adding anything other than what the instructions call for.
For extra insurance, first run the washer through a short cycle with no clothes, just a color catcher sheet. If you want, you can scoop out a cup of water while it is in cycle, to see if it is clear water. This is just to insure that there is no possible stain inside the tub that you can't see.
This Rit treatment may not return your whites to perfection, but should remove almost all the unwanted color deposit. It worked for me after a real tie-dye T-shirt snuck in with my whites in the washer one day.
I gave up on oxygen boosters.
They caused too many problems for me.
