Zicam Recall

Because Zicam Cold Remedy is a homeopathic treatment, the FDA is limited in its capacity to regulate it, making a forced Zicam recall unlikely. However, because of product liability laws, if it is proven that Zicam harmed enough people, the product could be taken off the market even without an FDA enforced Zicam recall. For instance, if Matrixx Initiative, the company responsible for manufacturing and distributing Zicam, feels that they are likely to lose a great deal of money through litigation involving persons harmed by the remedy, they may issue a voluntary Zicam recall.

Because the main ingredient in Zicam (soluble zinc) was known to be harmful long before it was used in the cold remedy, a voluntary Zicam recall would not occur due to the company learning that the product causes anosmia (total loss of smell) in users, but because of fear of profit losses resulting from lawsuits. Individuals who have been harmed by this product can therefore help pressure a Zicam recall into existence, by filing for the financial restitution that they are rightfully entitled to. A Zicam recall will prevent others from suffering the same loss of smell, and would send a message to Matrixx and other companies that it is not profitable to offer products that are harmful to consumers.

A number of lawsuits have already been filed in an attempt to create a Zicam recall and to recover funds owed to persons harmed by the cold remedy. If you or someone you know has suffered anosmia or hyposmia (partial smell loss) as the result of using Zicam, and would like to help make a Zicam recall happen, contact an attorney who is already working towards the creation of a Zicam recall. Consumers who have been harmed by a product have the responsibility to help protect others-a Zicam recall can help prevent more people from suffering unduly.
