I Would Like To Know Why The Vick Sinex Nasal Spray Product Was Changed.

the new vicks sinex nasal spray product that came out about a year ago does not work nearly as well as the old. The old product that came as a white bottle with a navy blue cap was far superior and cleared up sinus congestion very quickly.The the new product ( white bottle and mint green top )is a lot less effective and takes much longer and more product to clear congestion.

Audience: Consumers

[Posted 11/19/2009] Procter & Gamble and FDA notified consumers of a voluntary recall of three lots of Vicks Sinex Nasal Spray in the United States, Germany and the United Kingdom. The bacteria B. cepacia was found in a small amount of product made at its plant in Gross Gerau, Germany. There have been no reports of illness. However, the bacteria could cause serious infections for individuals with a compromised immune system, or those with chronic lung conditions, such as cystic fibrosis. Consumers should simply discard the affected product as they would any over the counter medicine. Customers who have the affected lots can call P&G for a replacement coupon or refund.
