Fighting allergies or maybe trying to soothe a teething baby? It's time to check your cupboards and medicine cabinets for a trio of over-the-counter medications that have just been recalled.
According to the Food & Drug Administration, cold and allergy maker Zicam is calling back three of the products from its nasal swabs family because of potential contamination.

The medications reportedly under the recall are the following:
- Orajel Baby Teething Swabs
- Zicam Cold Remedy Nasal Swabs
- Zicam Nasal AllClear Swabs
Individuals with compromised immune systems are most at risk for developing symptoms related to fungal contamination, according to fda.gov.
So far, no serious adverse effects have been reported so far by any consumers of the three Zicam products listed above. However, if you're in possession of them, you're advised to stop using the immediately and contact the manufacturer, Church & Dwight Co., Inc., for a full refund.
