What does this notice say about current status?
The available CPSC record does not provide a current recall-completion status. Do not infer that the issue is resolved from the age of the notice. Follow the official notice and contact the firm for current assistance.
Why was Bayer mL Size Afrin Original Nasal Spray Bottles recalled?
The 6 mL nasal sprays contain an imidazoline, which must be in child-resistant packaging or meet the labeling requirements for non-complying packaging, as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. The 6 mL nasal spray's packaging is not child-resistant nor bears the required labeling statement, posing a risk of serious injury or illness from poisoning, if the contents are swallowed by young children.
