Travel-sized Afrin nasal spray recalled by drugmaker

"The Afrin Original Nasal Spray recall is due to a packaging issue where the container does not have a child-resistant top, posing a health risk if a child were to swallow the contents."

"The recalled .02 oz size of Afrin was mainly sold at convenience stores or travel hubs like airports and bodegas, and was not available at major retailers such as Walmart, Target, or amazon.com."

Bayer recalled its travel-sized Afrin Original Nasal Spray because the packaging lacks a child-resistant top, creating a potential health risk if ingested by children. The recall specifically affects the .02 oz size, which was primarily sold at convenience stores and travel hubs, such as airports and bodegas. No other sizes of Afrin were impacted by this recall. Consumers are advised to dispose of the affected bottles and can request refunds through Bayer's website.
