Major Drug Store Recalls Over 41,000 Nasal Sprays Due to Bacterial Contamination

Cold and flu season prompts Walgreens to recall over 41,000 Saline Nasal Spray with Xylitol bottles. The FDA recalled it for raw milk-like germs. The FDA considers this virus a Class II recall, offering temporary health hazards.

Lot 71409 and 71861, 1.5-ounce nasal sprays, expire February 28 and August 31, 2027. Check medicine closets and stop using affected items, even unopened.

Walgreens recommends returning recalled nasal sprays for full refund. The corporation believes recalls protect customers, especially during respiratory infection season.

Health officials advise nasal spray users to watch for nose irritation, infection, and pain. Stop using the tainted product despite uncommon medical concerns.

Be careful when buying OTC health items after this recall. Protect families by reviewing FDA safety alerts and recalls.
