Haleon recalled several of its cough medicines nationwide Wednesday due to potential product contamination.
The company voluntarily recalled eight lots of Robitussin Honey CF Max Day Adult and Robitussin Honey CF Max Nighttime Adult cough syrups over microbial contamination, according to an announcement from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The contaminated cough syrup products could pose potential harm to immunocompromised individuals, who could potentially develop life-threatening problems such as fungemia or fungal infection that spreads throughout the body, the FDA warned.
“In non-immunocompromised consumers, the population most likely to use the product, life-threatening infections are not likely to occur. However, the occurrence of an infection that may necessitate medical intervention cannot be completely ruled out,” the company announcement said.
