What the record says
- Product
- This recall involves unexpired Travel Size Afrin® Original Nasal Spray 6 mL bottles, with Lot numbers 230361, 240822, 241198, 250066, 250152, 250646, and 250831. These travel size bottles have "Afrin® Original Nasal Spray" and "1/5 FL OZ (6 mL)" printed on a label located on the front of the bottle. It is a six-digit number, followed by the expiration date in following format: "YYYYMMM". No other sizes of Afrin are included in this recall.
- Reason
- The 6 mL nasal sprays contain an imidazoline, which must be in child-resistant packaging or meet the labeling requirements for non-complying packaging, as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. The 6 mL nasal spray's packaging is not child-resistant nor bears the required labeling statement, posing a risk of serious injury or illness from poisoning, if the contents are swallowed by young children.
