What Popular Medication is Being Recalled in Louisiana for Microbial Contamination?

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has issued a warning, urging people to immediately dispose of Robitussin Honey CF Max Adult Daytime in both 4oz. and 8oz. sizes, as well as the nighttime Robitussin Honey CF Max Adult in the 8oz. size.

The microbial contamination discovered in these products can lead to conditions such as fungemia or disseminated fungal infections, which can prove fatal, especially to individuals with weakened immune systems.

Experts advise using this opportunity to inspect and clear their medicine cabinets of any expired medications. As medicines age, not only does their effectiveness diminish, but their susceptibility to contamination also increases.

Look For this to Ensure Your Robitussin is Safe:

Louisiana residents are encouraged to check the back of their Robitussin bottles for the lot number, ensuring that it does not match the list of contaminated lots provided by the FDA.

Haleon, the manufacturer of Robitussin, has responded to the recall, providing guidance to affected consumers. They have requested that individuals who possess the recalled Robitussin products contact their Consumer Relations team at +1-800-245-1040, available Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 6 PM Eastern Time. Alternatively, consumers can reach out via email to mystory.us@haleon.com for further assistance.

As always, if anyone who has consumed the tainted medicine experiences any symptoms or adverse health effects, it is imperative to contact their primary care physician immediately. Timely medical attention is crucial in cases of potential contamination to ensure a swift and appropriate response.
