FDA Issues Urgent Recall of Popular Cold and Teething Products

The FDA has issued a recall for three over-the-counter products: Zicam Cold Remedy Nasal Swabs, Zicam Nasal All Clear Swabs, and Orajel Baby Teething Swabs. The recall is due to the potential presence of a fungus that could lead to serious and life-threatening blood infections. "These products may contain a fungus that could cause a serious and life-threatening blood infection," stated the FDA. While no illnesses have been reported, the FDA urges consumers to immediately check their medicine cabinets and dispose of or return any of the recalled products. The full details of the recall can be found on the FDA website. This proactive measure by the FDA underscores the importance of product safety and consumer vigilance.
