Church & Dwight is recalling (Class 1) all lots of Zicam Cold Remedy Nasal Swabs, Zicam Nasal AllClear Swabs, and Orajel Baby Teething Swabs due to potential microbial contamination identified as fungi in cotton swab components. “Swabs found to contain microbial contamination can potentially 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,” a [recall notice](https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/church-dwight-co-inc-issues-voluntary-nationwide-recall-zicamr-cold-remedy-nasal-swabs-zicamr-nasal?utm%5Fmedium=email&utm%5Fsource=govdelivery) says, adding that the risk is highest (potentially severe or life-threatening) among children and individuals with compromised immune systems or other underlying medical conditions. To date, the company has reported no serious adverse events associated with affected products.
