Proctor and Gamble are voluntarily recalling Vicks Sinex Nasal Spray in the U.S., Germany and the U.K.  A routine safety check of the product turned up the presence of B. cepacia, a bacterium not normally harmful, but it might cause complications in immune challenged individuals.  A single batch of the nasal spray was involved, but the product was shipped to the three countries mentioned.  Those batches in question are described below.
