Bayer is recalling approximately 786,100 bottles of unexpired Travel Size Afrin Original Nasal Spray (oxymetazoline hydrochloride 0.05%) in the 6 mL size. The packaging is not child-resistant and lacks required safety labeling, which violates federal safety standards for products containing imidazoline. This recall was issued in April 2026 for products sold at convenience stores and travel hubs like airports. Consumers can receive a full refund by submitting a photo of the product through the manufacturer's website.
The product contains imidazoline, which can cause serious injury or illness if swallowed by young children. Because the bottle is not child-resistant, children can easily access and ingest the medication.
Consumers should immediately secure the recalled bottles out of sight and reach of children and go to the webform posted on www.livewell.bayer.com/afrin-original-spray-recall to begin a request for a refund. Consumers will be asked to take and submit a photo of the product before disposing of it in order to receive a refund.
Recall only applies to the 6 mL travel size. Expiration dates are printed in YYYYMMM format after the lot number.
