\"Travel-sized<\/p>\n

Drugmaker Bayer recalled its travel-sized Afrin Original Nasal Spray because of a problem with its packaging.<\/p>\n

The medicine comes in a container that does not have child-resistant top.<\/p>\n

That poses a health risk if a child were to swallow the content.<\/p>\n

No other sizes were impacted by the recall.<\/p>\n

The .02 oz size was mainly sold at convenience stores or travel hubs like airports and bodegas.<\/p>\n

The recalled-product was not sold at major retailers such as Walmart, Target or amazon.com, according to Bayer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Consumers were asked to throw those travel-sized bottles away.<\/p>\n

Bayer says refunds can be requested at livewell.bayer.com\/afrin-spray-recall-refund-form<\/a><\/p>\n
