Oxymetazoline HCl Nasal Spray Recalled for Contaminated Excipient
Perrigo Company PLC is recalling NASAL Maximum Strength No Drip Nasal Spray (oxymetazoline HCl 0.05%) because the product was manufactured with a contaminated excipient from a recalled 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: The FDA classified this as a Class II recall. The source text does not report any illnesses or injuries from the contaminated excipient, and the hazard is identified as a manufacturing deviation rather than a specific identified pathogen or injury risk. This fits the rubric criterion for moderate severity: a voluntary precautionary recall with no reported adverse health outcomes.
