Church & Dwight has announced a voluntary recall of all Zicam Cold Remedy Nasal Swabs, Zicam Nasal AllClear Swabs, and Orajel Baby Teething Swabs as of Friday. The recall states that these products might be contaminated with fungi.

This microbial contamination carries severe health risks and could potentially lead to life-threatening blood infections. The highest risk is for children and individuals with compromised immune systems or other existing health conditions.

The New Jersey-based manufacturer said there have been no reports of illness in relation to the recall.
