Nasal Spray Sold on Amazon Recalled over Mold Risk
The company said 585 units were sold and advised customers to stop using the spray and seek a refund.
On Friday, June 12, Beekeeper's Naturals announced a voluntary nationwide recall of its Saline Nasal Spray sold through Amazon due to yeast contamination in Lot 5950.
Beekeeper's Naturals stated the product "tested above our acceptable microbiological limits for yeast" and may contain Aspergillus mold, posing serious risks for people with weakened immune systems or lung diseases.
Around 585 units were sold exclusively through Amazon between April 2 and April 24. Consumers should check the bottom of the brown bottle for Lot 5950 with February 2028 expiration.
The contamination could "cause serious and life-threatening infections such as invasive sinusitis and lung infections." Customers should discontinue use immediately and contact Beekeeper's Naturals for a full refund.
Four reports of adverse reactions have been submitted to date. Consumers can report additional reactions to the Food and Drug Administration's MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting or by calling 1-800-FDA-0178.
