Nasal spray sold on Amazon recalled. See the affected brand

A recall was issued for a nose spray sold on Amazon due to microbiological contamination of yeast and possible mold, according to a June 12 announcement on the Food and Drug Administration's website.

The nasal spray, Beekeeper’s Naturals Saline Nasal Spray, was sold through the online retailer and "tested above our acceptable microbiological limits for yeast," Beekeeper’s Naturals stated in the announcement on the FDA's website. Around 585 units of the recalled product were sold from April 2-24. Beekeeper’s Naturals received four reports of adverse reactions potentially related to the recalled product.

The product may also have been contaminated by Aspergillus mold, a fungus often found in soil that can cause a disease called aspergillosis, according to George Washington University.

The possible contamination could "cause serious and life-threatening infections such as invasive sinusitis and lung infections" in people with weakened immune systems or lung diseases, according to the company.

The mold could cause infections that may lead to coughing up blood in people with allergic reactions or certain lung diseases, as well as fever and other symptoms, according to the Mayo Clinic. The most common symptoms include cough and shortness of breath.

USA TODAY has reached out to Beekeeper’s Naturals for more information.
