PHARMACEUTICAL PRODUCT RECALL

Products to treat sinus problems or mouth pain are being recalled because they may be contaminated with bacteria that can cause meningitis, pneumonia, and septicemia. Product Quest Manufacturing issued its first recall on August 8th, 2018, after finding the bacteria in its CVS Health 12 Hour Sinus Relief Nasal Mist. The recall has now been expanded to includes nasal sprays and drops sold under a number of store brands, including Dollar General, Family Dollar, Rexall, and Walgreens. The recall also includes Finafta Baby Oral Gel. The company says if anyone experiences problems after using the products they should contact their doctor.
