Beekeeper’s Naturals Saline Nasal Spray Recall (Lot 5950, Exp 02/2028): What to Do

If you have Beekeeper’s Naturals Saline Nasal Spray, do a quick label check today.

Quick recall check: lot + expiration

Look on the bottom or back label of the bottle.
If it says Lot 5950 and best-by/expiration: 02/2028, do not use that bottle.

What the FDA says happened

FDA posted a recall for this specific lot after the company reported test results that showed the product could have microbiological concerns (including counts for yeast) and may contain Aspergillus species.

FDA notes that while most people are not expected to get sick, the risk is higher for people with weakened immune systems or certain lung diseases. In those higher-risk situations, Aspergillus infections can be serious.

What to do now (clear next steps)

If your bottle is Lot 5950 (02/2028): stop using it and follow the recall instructions in the FDA notice for return/refund steps.
If you already used the product: most people won’t develop a problem, but if you are higher risk, be alert for symptoms described below and contact a clinician if you’re concerned.

Who should be extra cautious

CDC explains that most people don’t get sick from Aspergillus. The greatest concern is for people with weakened immune systems or certain lung diseases—for example, people who already have a serious medical condition (such as after some types of organ or stem cell transplant, or with other major immune- or lung-related conditions).

Symptoms that should trigger medical attention

These symptoms don’t confirm aspergillosis—but if they show up, especially in someone higher risk, it’s important to get prompt medical advice. Watch for:

Breathing-related symptoms (for example, worsening cough or shortness of breath)
Fever or feeling very unwell
Chest symptoms (including chest pain) or coughing up blood
Sinus/face symptoms such as worsening congestion plus significant sinus or face pain/pressure, or severe headache

Seek urgent or emergency care if symptoms are severe, rapidly worsening, or you have a weakened immune system or significant lung disease.

If you’re unsure what to do

If you have the recalled lot, stop using it.
If you’re higher risk and develop concerning symptoms, call your clinician promptly for guidance.
Clinician guidance for suspected invasive aspergillosis emphasizes that evaluation should not be delayed when serious infection is a concern.

What remains uncertain

FDA’s notice describes a potential risk based on contamination testing for this lot—it does not mean everyone who used it will develop an infection.
CDC’s information explains who is most vulnerable to Aspergillus in general; it doesn’t mean the recall will affect everyone.

Bottom line

Check your label. If it’s Lot 5950 with 02/2028, stop using it. If you’re immunocompromised or have certain lung diseases and develop concerning breathing, fever, chest, or severe sinus/face symptoms, get medical evaluation promptly.
