Bayer Recalls 6 mL Size Afrin Original Nasal Spray Bottles Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Illness from Child Poisoning; Violates Mandatory Standard for Child-Resistant Packaging
The 6 mL nasal sprays contain an imidazoline, which must be in child-resistant packaging or meet the labeling requirements for non-complying packaging, as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act.
