NeilMed has recalled more than 89,000 units of NasoGel for Dry Noses over concerns of a “microbial failure.”

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) published the nasal spray recall on its website on Feb. 5. The recall applies to 89,312 units of NasoGel Spray, a saline-based gel formula that can be sprayed to hydrate and lubricate dry and irritated nasal passages caused by dry climate and indoor heat.

According to the recall, routine testing revealed that the product had a “microbial failure.” NeilMed received 11 complaints from customers who claimed the product had an “unpleasant odor.”

On Dec. 28, the company sent an “urgent recall” letter out to customers about the issue.
