Church & Dwight Recalls All Lots Of Zicam Nasal, Orajel Teething Swabs

RTTNews | 1 day ago

(RTTNews) - Church & Dwight Co., Inc. has called back all lots of Zicam nasal swabs and Orajel baby teething swabs citing potential microbial contamination, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Cold remedy nasal swabs are a zinc-free, homeopathic cold remedy swab for shortening the duration of the common cold; nasal allclear swabs are nasal cleansing swab product; and baby teething swabs are pre-moistened swabs for soothing teething discomfort in infants and toddlers.

The recall involves all lots within expiry of Zicam Cold Remedy Nasal Swabs, with UPC 732216301205; Zicam Nasal AllClear Swabs, with UPC 732216301656, which were discontinued in December 2024; as well as Orajel Baby Teething Swabs, with UPC 310310400002.

The recalled products were distributed nationwide in the United States and in Puerto Rico.

The recall was initiated after potential microbial contamination was identified as fungi in cotton swab components, and it could present a significant risk to the health and safety of consumers including serious and life-threatening blood infections in users whose nasal mucosa may be compromised due to inflammation and mechanical injuries.

Children and individuals with compromised immune systems or other underlying medical conditions are in higher risk of potentially severe or life-threatening illness. However, no serious adverse events associated with the recalled product have been reported so far.

Consumers who have purchased any of the impacted products are urged to stop using the product immediately.

In similar recalls citing potential microbial contamination, Amneal Pharmaceutical LLC, a unit of Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc., last week called back three lots of Sulfamethoxazole and Trimethoprim Tablets, USP, 400 mg/80 mg. In February, New York-based Ascent Consumer Products Inc. recalled one lot of SinuCleanse Soft Tip Squeeze Bottle Nasal Wash System due to a confirmed test result of Staphylococcus aureus.

Gold Dips As US-China Trade Talks Continue

Gold prices dipped on Tuesday, ahead of US inflation report and ongoing US-China official talks, which is now the focus of investors from all over the world. Front Month Comex Gold for June delivery lost $11.20 (or 0.34%) to $3320.90 per troy ounce on Tuesday. Front Month Comex Silver for June delivery lost $14.60 cents (or 0.40%) to $36.542 today.

On the economic data front, the US Labor Department will release Consumer Price Index (CPI) data on Wednesday, which may help to determine the Federal Reserve's monetary policy before the Fed's June 17-18 meeting. Meanwhile, the World Bank, in its biannual Global Economic Prospects, has cut the global growth forecast to 2.3% from 2.7% for the current year citing "trade barriers" as a reason behind the global slowdown.

Crude Oil Prices Fade As US-China Talks Progress

Crude oil prices were down on Tuesday amidst uncertainty over trade talks between China and the United States continued, although the outcome remains uncertain. WTI oil closed down by $0.31 to settle at $64.98 per barrel. August Brent crude was last seen down by $0.03 to $67.01. To ease the standstill created by the reciprocal tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump and China, high-level officials from both nations convened at London on Monday to discuss steps to soften the conflict. As the talks went on for the second day today, Trump told reporters at the White House that the talks were "going well" and that he was "only getting good reports." While U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent described Monday's talks as "good meeting," the Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick called them as "fruitful." On the geopolitical front, however, Russia showed no sign of relenting on its war with Ukraine and continued its attacks. Limiting the downside, the U.S. Energy Information Administration has reported today that US crude oil production is likely to decline over the next 18 months - while the approach of the summer driving season is also good news.
