Walgreens Nasal Spray Recall
In November 2025, Walgreens and the FDA announced a Class II recall for more than 40,000 bottles of nasal spray that may be contaminated with bacteria, which poses an infection risk for people with vulnerable immune systems.
What Happened?
No infections were reported, but the affected Walgreens Nasal Spray products may be contaminated with a bacteria called Pseudomonas lactis. This bacteria usually poses a low risk to healthy adults, but it can cause opportunistic infections in people who are sick, elderly or frail, very young, or have a weak immune system.
How To Identify Products in the Nasal Spray Recall
The recall involves the following Walgreens nasal spray products:
- Walgreens Saline Nasal Spray with Xylitol
- 1.5-oz. (45 mL) bottles
- Sold at Walgreens stores nationwide
- Lot 71409 and Expiration Date 02/28/2027
- Lot 71861 and Expiration Date 08/31/2027
- Manufactured by Medical Products Laboratories, Inc.
- The recall involves about 41,328 bottles of nasal spray
What is the Problem?
According to the FDA, the recall was announced due to “Microbial contamination of a non-sterile product – microorganism found to be pseudomonas lactis.”
What is Pseudomonas?
Pseudonomas is a group of bacteria that can cause infections in people. Infections with Pseudomonas lactis are uncommon in healthy adults, but they can be very serious if the infection is antibiotic-resistant. This increases the risk of hospitalization, complications, sepsis, or death.
