Robitussin Cough Syrup Recalled for Fungal Infection Risk
In January 2024, three types of Robitussin Cough Syrup were recalled due to dangerously high levels of yeast fungus in the honey ingredient, which could result in life-threatening fungal infections.
What is the Problem?
The recall involves certain bottles of Robitussin Honey Cold & Flu Max Adult Cough Syrup. No infections were reported in the recall announcement, but the honey may be contaminated with yeast.
Yeast is a fungus that is found naturally in honey, but the amount of yeast detected in the honey was “beyond allowed measurements,” the company explained in an emailed message.
What Bottles of Robitussin Were Recalled?
The recall involves these 3 types of Robitussin Honey Cold & Flu Cough Syrup:
- Robitussin Honey Cold & Flu Max Day Adult (4-oz.): Lot Number T10810. Expiration Date 31OCT2025
- Robitussin Honey Cold & Flu Max Day Adult (8-oz.): Lot Numbers T08730, T08731, T08732, T08733, T10808. Expiration Dates 31MAY2025, 31MAY2025, 31MAY2025, 31MAY2025, 30SEP2025.

Health Risks of Using Recalled Bottles of Robitussin
People with vulnerable immune systems who use the recalled batches of Robitussin Cough Syrup could develop “severe or life-threatening adverse events such as fungemia or disseminated fungal infection.”
The most high-risk people include those who are immunocompromised due to health problems like HIV, diabetes, kidney failure, organ transplant recipients, cancer or chemotherapy, medications that weaken the immune system, and more.
Healthy adults have a lower risk of developing an infection, but “an infection that may necessitate medical intervention cannot be completely ruled out,” according to the recall.
What is the Risk?
Yeast, also known as Candida, can cause a severe fungal infection called invasive candidiasis or “fungemia.” This occurs when a yeast infection invades the bloodstream and spreads to other parts of the body, resulting in life-threatening complications or death.
