Beekeeper’s Naturals is voluntarily recalling one lot of its saline nasal spray sold exclusively on Amazon after testing found microbial contamination that may include Aspergillus, a fungus that can cause serious infections in vulnerable people. The recall covers Lot 5950 (Best By: 02/2028) of the 1-fluid-ounce bottle, and about 585 units were shipped to Amazon between April 2 and April 24, 2026. The company said it has received four reports of sinus-related reactions and is offering refunds and customer support to purchasers.
What Was Recalled And Why
According to a company release, Beekeeper’s Naturals said the affected lot “tested above our acceptable microbiological limits for yeast and may contain Aspergillus spp.,” and that the product was manufactured at a third-party facility before distribution. The company framed the recall as a safety step for people with weakened immune systems or chronic lung disease, who it said are at greatest risk of invasive sinus or lung infections. The notice was distributed in a press release via Business Wire.
How Many Were Sold And How They Were Shipped
Materials posted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration show the recall applies only to Lot 5950, Exp. 02/2028, and that 585 bottles from that lot were sold through Amazon between April 2 and April 24, 2026, according to FDA. The company says the shipment happened after a clerical error sent the lot before test results were available. The posting also notes that no other Beekeeper’s Naturals products, including Nasal Spray Max, are included in the voluntary recall.
What To Do If You Bought The Spray
The company and news reports advise anyone who finds Lot 5950 (Best By: 02/2028) on their bottle to stop using it and contact Beekeeper’s Naturals for a refund. Customer support is listed at 1-888-759-6910 and [email protected]. Beekeeper’s Naturals said it and Amazon have already directly notified purchasers of the affected lot and urged anyone who believes they suffered health problems to contact a physician and report events to FDA MedWatch. As reported by KWCH, the company has received four complaints of sinus congestion, irritation or infection potentially tied to the product.
Not The First Time
Regulators have flagged microbial contamination in nasal sprays in recent months, prompting voluntary recalls and buyer-notification efforts that underscore manufacturing and testing challenges for over-the-counter nasal products. Coverage of earlier recalls, such as an expanded nasal-spray recall reported by NBC Chicago, shows how companies and retailers notify customers and urge discontinuation when contamination is found.
