The agency warns consumers to stop using the zinc-based cold products immediately. The products are Zicam Cold Remedy Nasal Gel, Cold Remedy Nasal Swabs and Cold Remedy Swabs, Kids Size. Consumers should immediately stop taking zinc-based intranasal Zicam cold products and discard them or return them to stores because they damage the sense of smell, the Food and Drug Administration said Tuesday.
