Nasal, teething swabs recalled for potential contamination

(CNN) – A New Jersey based company known for producing personal care and household items is recalling three of its products.

Church and Dwight announced it is voluntarily recalling its Zicam Cold Remedy Nasal Swabs, its Zicam Nasal All Clear Swabs and its Orajel Baby Teething Swabs due to the swabs potentially being contaminated with a fungi.

If used, people could suffer a serious and life-threatening blood infection.

Children and people with compromised immune systems or underlying medical conditions are most at risk.

The recalled products were distributed nationwide in the United States and in Puerto Rico, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The company says so far, no one has reported an illness.

It is recommending anyone with the nasal or teething swabs to either throw them out or go to the store where they were bought and get a refund.
