Beekeeper’s Naturals has issued a voluntary nationwide recall of a specific lot of its saline nasal spray sold exclusively through Amazon due to microbial contamination that exceeds acceptable safety limits. The recall affects lot #5950 with expiration date 02/2028, produced at a third-party manufacturing facility, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announcement on June 11, 2026.
Key takeaways
- Single lot (#5950, exp. 02/2028) of Beekeeper’s Naturals saline nasal spray recalled for microbial contamination
- Product was sold exclusively through Amazon and produced at third-party facility
- No adverse events reported to date, but contaminated nasal products pose infection risks
Contamination Exceeds Safety Standards
The recalled saline nasal spray tested above Beekeeper’s Naturals’ acceptable microbial contamination limits during quality control testing. The company announced the voluntary recall on June 11, 2026, from its Covina, California headquarters, targeting only products sold through Amazon’s platform.
The affected lot (#5950, expiration date 02/2028) was manufactured at a third-party facility rather than Beekeeper’s Naturals’ own production sites. This represents a targeted recall of a single production batch rather than a broader product line issue.
Consumer Safety Risks and Response
While no adverse events have been reported to date according to the FDA announcement, microbial contamination in nasal products poses significant health risks. Contaminated nasal sprays can introduce harmful bacteria directly into sensitive nasal passages and sinuses.
Consumers who purchased the affected product through Amazon should discontinue use immediately and check their product lot numbers against the recall information. The recall specifically targets products sold through Amazon’s marketplace, limiting the geographic and retail scope of the safety issue.
