Baby Swabs and Nasal Swabs Recalled for Possible Fungus in Swab Parts
- On Friday, Church & Dwight announced a nationwide voluntary recall of their Zicam Cold Remedy, Zicam Nasal AllClear, and Orajel Baby Teething Swab products due to concerns about possible fungal contamination.
- The recall followed concerns that the cotton swabs in these products could carry fungi, which might cause serious infections if used, especially in vulnerable groups.

- Church & Dwight stated no illnesses have been reported so far and urged consumers to stop using the swabs immediately and seek refunds via a dedicated website or hotline.
- The voluntary recall highlights risks of microbial contamination in consumer products and underscores the need for vigilance by both manufacturers and consumers.
