Vicks Sinex Nasal Spray – Recall
By Linda on Nov 22, 2009 in General News | comments(0)
Linda’s comments: I’m so sorry people are finding out the hard way about the over the counter products. Forget the bacteria found, think about your poor sinus getting slammed with these chemicals and toxins. There are plenty of things you can do for your sinus and to keep your nasal passage clean and free from infection.
Using a neti-pot is fabulous here is a great u-tube example….

I use the ACS200 ppm silver and the Quinton Marine Plasma “isotonic” for my washing. Your sinus’ will be doing a happy dance….PLUS, it knocks out the infection. I would suggest NOT using a plastic neti-pot….you can find them all over the Internet or at your local Holistic stores. Enjoy!!

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.
