Signature Care Nasal Decongestant Recalled Due to Contaminated Excipient

Perrigo Company PLC is recalling Signature Care Nasal Decongestant (Oxymetazoline HCl 0.05%) nationwide due to contamination from a recalled excipient used in manufacturing.

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 (CGMP deviation). The source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or specific health hazards from the contaminated excipient itself—only that the excipient was recalled. In the absence of reported harm or a high-risk pathogen, a manufacturing deviation with a contaminated but unspecified excipient qualifies as Moderate.
