Church and Dwight has voluntarily recalled its Zicam Cold Remedy Nasal Swabs, Zicam Nasal All Clear Swabs, and Orajel Baby Teething Swabs due to potential fungal contamination. The swabs may cause a life-threatening blood infection in some users.
Children and individuals with weakened immune systems are most at risk of this serious infection. Although no reports of illness have been made, the company is taking action to prevent any harm. Affected consumers can either dispose of the swabs or return them to their place of purchase for a refund.
