ION Sinus Sprays recalled
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently discovered microbial contamination in Biomic Sciences' ION Sinus Support, ION Biome Sinus, and Restore Sinus Spray, prompting an immediate recall on these sinus products for the safety of consumers due to potential health risks.
Contaminants in the tested drops include Microbacterium sp., Fictibacillus sp., Bacillus sp., (primarily B. malikii), and Paenibacillus sp. According to the FDA, use of these contaminated products "could potentially result in severe or life-threatening adverse events such as bacteremia or fungemia, invasive bacterial or fungal rhinosinusitis, or disseminated fungal infection." Yikes!
