The affected products—marked with the Lot Number 024122661A1 and an expiration date of December 31, 2027—were distributed in January 2025 at retail locations and online sites, including Amazon.
The FDA reports that the affected product "can result in blood infections in users whose nasal mucosa may be compromised due to inflammation and mechanical injuries, caused by nasal irrigation."

The product also poses a risk for secondary infections, such as bone and joint infections, infection of the heart's inner lining (endocarditis), meningitis, splenic abscesses, and bacterial sinusitis.
These infections could lead to eye tissue infections, vision problems, cranial nerve damage or meningitis, which the FDA describes as "serious and potentially life-threatening."
As of the time of publication, the company that makes the product has not received any reports of adverse effects.
Consumers who have purchased the affected product—which is mostly used as a nasal wash to relieve sinus symptoms, allergies and nasal congestion temporarily—are instructed by the FDA to "discontinue use immediately" and discard the product.
Retailers in possession of the affected product are advised to stop distribution immediately and pull the lot from inventory.
