Nasal Wash Recalled Nationwide Due To Bacterial Contamination: Here's What To Know
A nasal cleansing wash that was sold across the U.S. Has been recalled because the product could be contaminated with bacteria.
Ascent Consumer Products in Melville, N.Y., announced it is recalling its SinuCleanse Soft Tip Squeeze Bottle Nasal Wash System, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The product is designed to wash the nasal passages to help temporarily relieve symptoms associated with sinusitis, cold, flu, or allergies.
It is being recalled because it could be contaminated with Staphylococcus aureus, which causes staph infections.
Using the product, the FDA said, could result in "secondary infections like endocarditis (infection of the heart's inner lining), bone and joint infections, splenic abscesses or meningitis, and bacterial sinusitis which may lead to eye tissue infections, vision problems, cranial nerve damage, or meningitis."
No infections have been reported yet, the FDA said.
The nasal wash has the lot number 024122611A1 and an expiration date of Dec. 31, 2027. The affected lot was distributed in January 2025 nationwide at various retail and online outlets.
Distributors and retailers that have the affected product should immediately cease distribution and remove it from their inventory. Anyone who purchased this product should stop using immediately and return it to the place of purchase or throw it away.
Consumers should contact their physician or healthcare provider if they experience any problems as a result of using the nasal wash.
Anyone with questions should email cs@ascentconsumerproducts.Com from 9 a.M. To 5 p.M. ET Monday-Friday.
