WASHINGTON — Two types of Robitussin cough syrup have been recalled because of microbial contamination that could be dangerous for people who are immunocompromised or medically at-risk.
Eight lots of Robitussin Honey CF Max Day Adult and Robitussin Honey CF Max Nighttime Adult are included in the nationwide recall.
