Haleon, which makes Robitussin over-the-counter medicines, issued a voluntary recall of eight lots of its Robitussin Honey CF Max Day Adult and Robitussin Honey CF Max Nighttime Adult products because of microbial contamination.
The products are designed to provide symptom relief for cold, flu, hay fever or other respiratory allergies.
In the notice posted on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration recall site, the company noted that the products could pose significant risk to certain consumers.
“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,” the notice said.
The company said it hasn’t seen any adverse events to date.
The lots being recalled are:
- Robitussin Honey Cf Max Day Adult, 4 ounces, lot number T10810, with an expiration marked 21OCT2025.
