Hartford (WTNH) - Check your medicine cabinet. Three types of Vicks Sinex Nasal Spray are being recalled because a dangerous bacteria was found in a small amount of the product at its Germany plant.

The lot numbers of the recalled products are:

Lot # 9239028831
Vicks Sinex Vapospray 12-Hour Decongestant Ultra Fine Mist, 15 ml., Nasal Spray

Lot# 9224028832
Vicks Sinex Micromist Aqueous Nasal Spray Solution, 15 ml

Lot # 9224028833
Wick Sinex Schnupfenspray Dosiersystem, 15 ml

The bacteria has been identified as B. cepacia. It can cause serious infections for people with a compromised immune system.

Consumers who have a bottle affected by the recall should simply discard the product as they would any over the counter medicine and contact Proctor and Gamble for a replacement coupon or refund at 1-877-876-7881.
