The Food and Drug Administration has issued a recall of more than 41,000 bottles of medicine due to a potential bacteria contamination.
Walgreens Saline Nasal Spray with Xylitol, sold in 1.5-ounce bottles, is being recalled, as the medication may be contaminated with Pseudomonas lactis — a bacteria that can cause skin infections, fever, chills and diarrhea.
A Pseudomonas lactis infection can become deadly if you have a weakened immune system, according to Cleveland Clinic.
Customers who purchased these products should stop using them immediately and return them to Walgreens.
NDC number for recall is 0363-3114-01 with the following numbers:
- Lot No. 71409, expires February 28, 2027
- Lot No. 71861, expires August 31, 2027
The FDA marked the recall as a Level II — meaning the product may cause temporary reversible health problems but the risk of serious “adverse health consequences is remote.”
