P & G Voluntarily Recalls Nasal Spray

Procter & Gamble has voluntarily recalled its four-hour decongestant VapoSpray after finding that the product's formulation may not last until the expiration date.

CINCINNATI (AP) -- The Procter & Gamble Co. has voluntarily recalled its four-hour decongestant VapoSpray after finding that the product's formulation may not last until the expiration date.

The company said in a news release that the recall of VapoSpray 4-Hour Nasal Spray by Sinex was not the result of a consumer complaint.

The consumer products giant is removing the product from shelves across the U.S., where it was distributed.

The product has a UPC code of 3 23900 00082 7.

Before June 2009, it was sold as Sinex Nasal Spray in two varieties: the spray had a UPC Code of 3 23900 00082 7, and the Ultra Fine Mist had a UPC Code of 3 23900 00085 8.

Shoppers who have products with those UPC codes marked with an expiration date before June 2013 should throw them out.

Consumers can call Procter & Gamble with questions or to ask for replacement coupons or refunds at 877-340-8853.

Shares of Procter & Gamble fell 51 cents to close at $60.87 on Thursday.
