NIH Halts DEI Policy; Over-the-Counter Ivermectin; Zicam, Orajel Product Recall

  • On June 6, the maker of Zicam and Orajel swab products initiated a voluntary nationwide recall of all affected lots after detecting fungal contamination in the cotton components.
  • The recall follows FDA findings of fungi in the swabs, which can cause serious blood infections, especially in children and immunocompromised users.
  • The recall applies specifically to certain Zicam nasal swabs for cold relief and Orajel teething swabs for infants, while excluding all other products under the Zicam and Orajel brands.
  • The FDA warns that the contamination could seriously endanger consumers' health and safety, advising individuals to discontinue use of the recalled products and request refunds at churchdwightrecall.com.
  • Consumers nationwide and in Puerto Rico may return affected products for refunds, while the FDA monitors for adverse reactions and requests reports via its MedWatch program.
