Insight Pharmaceuticals Issues Voluntary Nationwide Recall of TING® 2% Miconazole Nitrate Athlete’s Foot Spray Antifungal Spray Powder Due to the Presence of Benzene
November 24 2023 - 8:30AM
Insight Pharmaceuticals, a Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc.
company (“Insight”), is voluntarily recalling two lots of
TING® 2% Miconazole Nitrate Athlete’s Foot Spray Antifungal
Spray Powder to the consumer level. A recent review by our
manufacturer and their third-party lab found that samples from two
lots of the product contained elevated levels of benzene. While
benzene is not an ingredient in any Ting® Antifungal Spray
products, the review showed that unexpected levels of benzene came
from the propellant that sprays the product out of the can.
Importantly, no other lots of TING® 2% Miconazole Nitrate Athlete’s
Foot Spray Antifungal Spray Powder (either before or after these
batch codes) and no other Ting® Antifungal Spray products are in
the scope of this recall and may continue to be used by consumers
safely and as intended.
Risk Statement: Benzene is classified as a human
carcinogen. Exposure to benzene can occur by inhalation, orally,
and through the skin and it potentially can result in cancers
including leukemia and blood cancer of the bone marrow and blood
disorders which can be life threatening. Insight is recalling these
products out of an abundance of caution. To date, the Company has
not received any serious adverse events related to this recall.
Benzene is ubiquitous in the environment. Humans around the world
have daily exposures to it indoors and outdoors from multiple
sources.
TING® 2% Miconazole Nitrate Athlete’s Foot Spray
Antifungal Spray Powder is packaged in green and white aerosol cans
with Lot codes located on the bottom of the can.
Samples of the recalled lots below have been found
to contain trace levels of Benzene related to the propellant that
sprays the product out of the can. Benzene is not an ingredient in
any Ting products.
