Herbal nasal sprays recalled

A Dallas, TX company called Wholistic Herbs Inc. has recalled all of the nasal spray products it distributed from March 2009 through February 2012 under the name “Koff & Kold” and “Kold Sore” after an FDA inspection determined that the products are not sterile. The products were distributed through the company’s website, which is no longer accessible, and through acupuncture clinics in the eastern US.

According to the company’s press release, “Koff & Kold spray with herbal extract as the product is not sterile and is intended to be sprayed into the nose and throat for treatment of colds, flu, cough, stuffy nose, and sinus infection,” and “Kold Sore spray with liquid sea mineral as the product is not sterile and is intended to be sprayed into the eyes for the treatment of dry eye and pink eye. The product is also intended to be sprayed into the nose for sinus allergy by pollen, and onto the lips and genitals for the treatment of fever blisters, shingles and herpes simplex.”
