CINNCINNATI- Before you pull that nasal spray out of the medicine cabinet, take a closer look.

If it says: "Vicks Sinex Vapospray 12-hour Decongestant," you don't want to use it.

Procter and Gamble has started a voluntary recall in the U.S., Britain and Germany after finding bacteria in a small batch.

The company says the bacteria poses little risk to healthy people, but could be dangerous for people with weakened immune systems or chronic lung conditions.

If you have the 15-milliliter size container, throw it away.

I thought it was strange that my nose dropped off. Where do I go to collect my millions?
