Bayer Voluntarily Recalls Afrin® Original Nasal Spray 6 mL Travel Size Bottles Due to Non-Compliance With Packaging/Labeling Requirement

WHIPPANY, N.J., April 30, 2026 - Bayer is voluntarily recalling all unexpired Afrin® Original Nasal Spray 6 mL (0.2 oz.) travel size bottles because these bottles, which are not child-resistant, do not have a required front label statement to that effect. The labels on the bottles warn consumers to "Keep out of reach of children" but do not contain the required statement "Package Not Child-Resistant."

The recall only impacts Afrin® Original Nasal Spray 6 mL (0.2 oz.) travel size bottles which are mainly sold at convenience stores and travel hubs in the U.S. including airports and bodegas. The product is not sold at major retailers like Walmart, Target or amazon.com. There are no issues of concern with other Afrin® sizes or varieties.

Bayer has notified its distributors of the recall and is arranging for returns of all unsold recalled products.

Consumers who have an unexpired 6 mL size Afrin® Original bottle should immediately store it in a safe location out of reach of children and may request a refund.
