MediNatura Recall Details – ReBoost & ClearLife Nasal Sprays (2025)
- Date of declaration: 20 December 2025 16:14 UTC
- Products affected: ReBoost Nasal Spray (OTC) – 30 ml & 15 ml bottles; ClearLife Nasal Spray – 20 ml bottles
- Reason: Detection of Achromobacter bacterial contamination during routine microbiological testing at MediNatura’s third‑party manufacturing facility.
- Scope: All batches produced between 01 January 2024 and 31 October 2025 (see batch numbers below).
Why Achromobacter Is a Concern
Achromobacter spp. are Gram‑negative, opportunistic pathogens commonly found in water systems and medical devices. When introduced into the nasal cavity, they can provoke:
- Upper‑respiratory infections – sinusitis, rhinosinusitis, or chronic nasal congestion.
- Lower‑respiratory complications – bronchitis or pneumonia, especially in immunocompromised individuals.
- Systemic spread – rare cases of bacteremia reported in patients with underlying lung disease.
The bacteria’s intrinsic resistance to many common antibiotics makes early detection and removal essential.
health Risks Linked to Contaminated Nasal Sprays
| Symptom | Typical Onset | Recommended Action |
|---|---|---|
| Persistent nasal discharge (yellow/green) | 24‑48 hrs after use | Stop product, seek medical advice |

Real‑World Reference: 2022 Nasal Spray Recall
In August 2022, the FDA recalled a popular over‑the‑counter nasal spray after Pseudomonas aeruginosa contamination was discovered. The recall highlighted the importance of strict sterility testing and prompted industry‑wide revisions to aseptic manufacturing protocols. MediNatura’s current recall follows the same rigorous investigative pathway, reinforcing consumer safety standards.
Practical Tips for Safe Nasal Spray Use
- Prime the spray before the first use (pump 2‑3 times away from the face).
- Tilt the head slightly forward and avoid inserting the nozzle too deep.
- Do not share nasal spray bottles-cross‑contamination can introduce pathogens.
- Replace caps after each use to maintain a sterile environment.
- Keep spare bottles of the same product in seperate locations to minimize simultaneous exposure if a batch is recalled.
Key takeaways for Consumers
- Verify batch numbers against the recall list.
- Stop using the product immediately if it matches.
- Follow the return and refund process outlined by MediNatura.
- Report any adverse health effects promptly.
Staying informed and acting quickly protects your respiratory health and helps ensure that contaminated medical products are removed from the market.
