Hey New Yorkers: Cough Syrup Recall Due To Microbial Contamination
Another day, another recall. We would ignore these if they weren't posing a danger or health risk. But what recall doesn't fall under those categories?
This is the time of year for colds, and many of us probably have all sorts of cold medicines tucked away in the bathroom medicine cabinets.
The United States Food & Drug Administration released this recall notice on January 24, 2024. The recall is for eight lots of Robitussin Honey CF Max Day Adult and Robitussin Honey CF Max Nighttime Adult.
Check your medicine cabinet. The reason for the recall is due to microbial contamination.
In immunocompromised individuals, the use of the affected product could potentially result in severe or life-threatening adverse events such as fungemia or disseminated fungal infection. 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. - United States Food & Drug Administration
