Not as strong as before, not as effective

New Formula?

I bought and used Vicks VapoRub last week (February 2025) to loosen phlegm from sinus infection/ coughing for the first time in a few years and got a severe allergic reaction from it. My skin blew up in redness, puffiness and I had wheezing and a fever from it. That went away after about 24 hrs when I stopped using it. It was frightening. That never happened when using the product in the past and wonder if the company changed their formula?
