This recall was announced after tests found that the nasal spray contained yeast/mold and a microbial contamination of the species Achromobacter. High levels of this bacteria can result in “life-threatening infections” that are especially dangerous for immunocompromised individuals. While there are no illnesses or infections reported in connection to this recall, contact a healthcare provider with any questions or concerns.
This nasal spray recall follows another separate Walgreens nasal spray recall, which resulted in over 40,000 bottles being affected by a different microbial contamination. Check your medicine cabinet immediately to see if you have either of these nasal sprays on hand.
