Drug Administration announced Wednesday.


The manufacturer, Haleon, recalled eight lots of day and nighttime cough syrups used to temporarily relieve cold and flu symptoms, hay fever or other respiratory allergies.

disseminated fungal infection (spread of fungus through the body), the announcement says.

Although life-threatening infections are uncommon for other consumers, there is still a chance of infections that may require medical attention, it says.


There have not been reports of illness related to this recall.
