Is Vicks legit?
LegitA fixture of US pharmacy shelves, Vicks is the real cold and cough brand behind VapoRub and NyQuil, though not everything carrying its name comes from the same company. Its humidifiers, vaporizers and thermometers are made under licence by another firm, so a faulty device is theirs to put right, not the medicine maker's.
What we checked
- VapoRub first sold in 1894
- Owned by Procter & Gamble
- Devices made by Kaz USA
Watch out for
- A humidifier or thermometer that fails, where the warranty sits with the licensed device maker rather than Procter & Gamble.
- A reaction after VapoRub was used on a child under two, an age its label rules out.
- A pack with a broken seal, or medicine that looks or smells different, with the lot code still on the box.
Did your Vicks humidifier stop working?
We help you write it, it gets its own public page, and you can have it sent to Vicks as a formal letter.

How do I contact Vicks customer service?
Vicks consumer care in the US is run by Procter & Gamble and can be reached on 1-800-362-1683; the Vicks contact page, linked at the top of this page, also offers chat and answers to common questions. Consumer care usually asks for the pack, the lot or batch code and the expiry date printed on it, and where and when you bought it, so have those ready before you call.
Pack faulty or a product not as it should be? Raise it with us too, and we push it out to Procter & Gamble by email, social media and printed letters.
How do I get a refund for a Vicks product?
For a refund on a faulty Vicks product, contact Procter & Gamble consumer care on 1-800-362-1683 with the pack, the lot or batch code, the expiry date and proof of purchase, and ask what it can offer for that product. The store where you bought it is the other route: its own return policy decides whether it takes the product back, and some pharmacies do not accept returns of medicines.
Keep the pack and the receipt until the matter is settled, and photograph the code and the fault before you hand anything over.

What should I do if I had a reaction to a Vicks product?
If you had a reaction after using a Vicks product, stop using it and get advice from a doctor or pharmacist; for severe symptoms, seek emergency care. Then tell Procter & Gamble consumer care on 1-800-362-1683 what happened, with the product name, the lot code and expiry date from the pack, when you used it and how much.
Keep the pack and any remaining product, and write down the dates, the symptoms and any treatment you received.

How do I make a warranty claim on a Vicks humidifier?
A warranty claim on a Vicks humidifier, vaporizer or thermometer goes to Kaz USA, a Helen of Troy company, which makes those devices under licence from Procter & Gamble and runs its own consumer support through the Vicks humidifiers website. Procter & Gamble's Vicks consumer care handles the medicines, not the devices.
Have the model number from the label, proof of purchase with the date, and a short description of the fault with photos or a video, and check the manual or warranty card for the warranty that applies to your model.
