Haleon has issued a voluntary recall of two Robitussin cough syrup products sold nationwide due to a microbial contamination that could be life-threatening for at-risk individuals.
Haleon announced the recall in a press release that was shared by the FDA on Wednesday. Included in the recall are eight total lot numbers of the "Robitussin Honey CF Max Day Adult" and the "Robitussin Honey CF Max Nighttime Adult."
Consumption of the recalled products by immunocompromised individuals could lead to "severe or life-threatening adverse events such as fungemia or disseminated fungal infection," Haleon said. The recalled products aren't likely to cause life-threatening infections in non-immunocompromised individuals, although an infection that "may necessitate medical intervention" can't be ruled out, according to the company.
Haleon said it hasn't received any reports of adverse events related to the recall.
