Nasal Spray Recalled

Nasal spray is being recalled in three countries because of possible contamination. The three recalled lots of Vicks Sinex Nasal spray could have the bacteria B. Cepacia. The bacteria could cause serious infections for individuals with a compromised immune system, or those with chronic lung conditions, such as cystic fibrosis. It poses little medical risk to healthy individuals. These three lots were sold only in the United States, Germany and the United Kingdom. Consumers should simply discard the affected product.

Proctor and Gamble detected this problem during routine quality control at the plant and promptly took action.  The company’s analysis to date shows this problem is limited to a single batch of raw material mixture involving three lots of product.  These three lots were sold only in the United States, Germany and the United Kingdom.

The lot numbers of the products involved are:
9239028831
United States
Vicks Sinex Vapospray 12-Hour Decongestant Ultra Fine Mist, 15 ml., Nasal Spray

United Kingdom
Vicks Sinex Micromist Aqueous Nasal Spray Solution, 15 ml
9224028833
Germany
Wick Sinex Schnupfenspray Dosiersystem, 15 ml

This lot number is listed on both the outer carton and the bottle.  Consumers should simply discard the affected product as they would any OTC medicine.
