Beekeeper’s Naturals is voluntarily recalling one of its nasal sprays after reported testing found elevated levels of yeast and the possible presence of fungi or mold.
According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the recall applies to lot No. 5950. The product is a 1-ounce spray with an expiration date of February 2028 that was sold through Amazon between April 2 and 24 of this year.
According to the company, the affected product was produced by a third-party manufacturer and tested above acceptable microbiological limits.
“Due to a clerical error, this lot 5950 was mistakenly shipped to Amazon before testing results became available. Working with Amazon, we have already directly notified all purchasers of this lot 5950 of Beekeeper’s Naturals Saline Nasal Spray,” the recall notice noted.
The recall states that for people with weakened immune systems or lung diseases, there is a reasonable probability that use of the possibly contaminated product could cause serious and life-threatening infections.
Beekeeper’s Naturals reported that it has received four reports from customers regarding adverse reactions potentially related to the recalled product, including sinus congestion, irritation or infection.
About 585 units of the affected lot were reported to be distributed. The company said no other Beekeeper’s Naturals products are included in the recall.
Consumers who have the recalled product have been advised to stop using it and to contact the company at 888-759-6910 for a refund.
Beekeeper’s Naturals said it has taken immediate corrective action to identify and resolve the source of the concern.
