Bayer Recalls 6 mL Afrin Nasal Spray Bottles Due to Child Poisoning Risk
Bayer recalls 6 mL Afrin Original Nasal Spray bottles lacking child-resistant packaging, posing poisoning risk to young children. Consumers must secure bottles out of reach and request refunds via online form.
The 6 mL nasal sprays contain an imidazoline, which must be in child-resistant packaging or meet the labeling requirements for non-complying packaging, as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. The 6 mL nasal spray's packaging is not child-resistant nor bears the required labeling statement, posing a risk of serious injury or illness from poisoning, if the contents are swallowed by young children.
