(WHTM) — Two types of Robitussin cough syrups sold nationwide are being voluntarily recalled due to microbial contamination, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced Wednesday.

Haleon, which manufactures the medication, is recalling eight lots of Robitussin Honey CF Max Day Adult and Robitussin Honey CF Max Nighttime Adult.

According to the company, immunocompromised individuals who use the affected products “could potentially result in severe or life-threatening adverse events such as fungemia or disseminated fungal infection.”
