Vicks Sinex May cause Complications

November 20, 2009

Cincinnati - Vicks Sinex nasal spray has been recalled by the Procter & Gamble Co, after finding out from the test that it contains bacteria.

Even though no illness have been reported yet from the consumers, 120,000 bottles of Vicks Sinex Vapospray 12-hour Decongestant Ultra Fine Mist, 15 ml.—manufactured in Germany were taken off the shelves because of B. cepacia bacteria. The said bacteria may weaken the immune system and trigger severe lung complications.

The recalled product was distributed in the US, United Kingdom and Germany.
