Cough Drops Sold Nationwide Recalled: FDA
The FDA classified the recalled cough drops as Class II, meaning use could cause temporary or medically reversible health consequences.
- On Monday, the Food and Drug Administration announced a nationwide voluntary recall of various private-label cough drops and throat lozenges. Chinese manufacturer Xiamen Kang Zhongyuan Biotechnology initiated the action, affecting products sold across multiple U.S. retailers.
- Following an August 15, 2025, FDA inspection of the facility, officials noted 'certain observations' that potentially impact product quality, prompting the company to initiate the voluntary recall last month.
- Products sold under Exchange Select, Caring Mill, Discount Drug Mart Food Market, MGC Health, and QC Quality Choice are impacted. The FDA issued a Class II recall, meaning exposure may cause 'temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.'
- The FDA has not disclosed the total number of units included in this nationwide recall, though the agency considers serious health effects from the products to be remote.
- Watchdog Teresa Murray of the U.S. Public Interest Research Group recommends checking recall lists weekly to ensure consumer safety, as regulators and companies often negotiate fixes for months or years.
