Vicks Sinex Nasal Spray - Recall

[Ross]

Audience: Consumers

Procter & Gamble and FDA notified consumers of a voluntary recall of three lots of Vicks Sinex Nasal Spray in the United States, Germany and the United Kingdom. The bacteria B. cepacia was found in a small amount of product made at its plant in Gross Gerau, Germany. There have been no reports of illness. However, the bacteria could cause serious infections for individuals with a compromised immune system, or those with chronic lung conditions, such as cystic fibrosis. Consumers should simply discard the affected product as they would any over the counter medicine. Customers who have the affected lots can call P&G for a replacement coupon or refund.

Thanks Ross,good to be aware. In a way,the less we use of all of these mass marketed
items the better. Its dificult to avoid, but still I guess we should try to follow the old maxim of "less is best",as much as we can anyway.
