CINCINNATI (November 20, 2009)--The Procter & Gamble Co. is recalling about 120,000 bottles of Vicks Sinex nasal spray after the company found bacteria in some samples during routine testing.
Company spokesman Tom Millikin described the voluntary recall as a precaution after small amounts of the B. cepacia bacteria were found in the over-the-counter product at the German plant where Sinex is made.
Millikin says no illnesses have been reported, but he said the bacteria could harm people with chronic lung problems or weakened immune systems.
The company is recalling three lots of the spray that were sent to stores in the United States, Germany and the United Kingdom.
The company, which is based in Cincinnati, says it has informed regulatory authorities in the affected countries.
