Nasal Spray Recalled Over Bacteria Contamination
13 Dec
Summary
- ReBoost Nasal Spray recalled due to yeast, mold, and bacteria.
- Contamination poses life-threatening risks to immunocompromised individuals.
- FDA states homeopathic products may not meet safety standards.
MediNatura New Mexico Inc. has initiated a voluntary recall of its ReBoost Nasal Spray after detecting yeast, mold, and microbial contamination, including Achromobacter bacteria, at levels exceeding specifications. The presence of these contaminants raises serious health concerns.
While the company has reported no adverse effects, it warns of potential life-threatening infections, particularly for immunocompromised individuals. This recall underscores the FDA's ongoing concerns regarding homeopathic products, which may not adhere to modern safety and quality standards as they are often marketed without rigorous federal review.
Consumers with the recalled product are advised to stop using it immediately and contact MediNatura for a refund or return it to the retailer. Individuals who believe they have experienced adverse effects should consult a healthcare provider and report to the FDA's MedWatch program.
