Target Severe Congestion Nasal Spray recalled for contaminated excipient
Perrigo Company is recalling Target Severe Congestion Nasal Spray (Oxymetazoline HCl 0.05%) because it was manufactured with a contaminated excipient that had been recalled from the supplier.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall involving a manufacturing deviation (contaminated excipient) with no reported illnesses or injuries stated in the source. The recall is precautionary in nature and reflects a procedural/quality-control failure rather than an established hazard to consumers.
