According to the FDA, 8-ounce products that are being recalled include lot Nos.

Haleon did not give details about how the microbial contamination occurred or how it was discovered.

In a statement, the company said that such contamination in “immunocompromised people” 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,” the company added. “However, the occurrence of an infection that may necessitate medical intervention cannot be completely ruled out.”

In the notice, Haleon urged consumers to stop using the syrup.
