What the authority reported
The product has been identified as presenting a microbiological risk as testing found the product to contain microbial contamination identified as Microbacterium sp, Fictibacillus sp, Bacillus sp, (primarily B. malikii), and Paenibacillus sp. In the population most at risk, patients or individuals who recently underwent nasal or sinus surgery, the use of the affected product could potentially result in severe or life-threatening adverse events such as bacteremia or fungemia, invasive bacterial or fungal rhinosinusitis, or disseminated fungal infection. The product does not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005.
What to do
Follow the instructions in the official notice — recall remedies (refund, repair, replacement, or disposal) are defined by the issuing authority and the responsible business, and they differ per recall. Do not rely on summaries, including this one.
