MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD

SUBJECT: Robitussin® Honey CF Max Day/Nighttime Adult

1. REFERENCE: DHA-MSR 6025.01/AR 40-660/ DLAR 6025.01/NAVSUPINST 

10110.8D/AFI 48-161_IP/MCO 10110.38D, DOD Hazardous Food & Nonprescription Drug 

Recall System, 6 September 2018. 

2. COMPANY ANNOUNCEMENT: This is to inform you of a voluntary recall involving 

certain lots of Robitussin® Honey CF Max Day/Nighttime Adult product. This recall has been 

initiated due to the potential that a product may contain elevated levels of certain strains of yeast. 

These yeasts, which occur naturally in honey at lower levels, do not generally cause a safety risk 

to consumers. However, at elevated levels they could impact the product’s taste and odor and 

cause mild to moderate gastrointestinal symptoms. In addition, the elevated levels of yeast could 

cause the syrup to carbonate and the plastic bottle to swell.

Please immediately examine your inventory, quarantine, and cease distribution of the listed lots. 

Please carry out a physical count and record this data on the Product Recall Response Form and 

the packing slip, which are included with this letter. 

This recall should be carried out to the RETAIL level. If you have further distributed any of 

these lots to other wholesale or retail level accounts, please conduct a sub-recall to those 

accounts and communicate this recall information immediately. Please request that they 

immediately cease distribution of the affected lot and promptly return the product to you for 

credit.

This recall is being conducted with the knowledge of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration 

(FDA). It is very important that you complete the requested information on the Product Response 

Form and return it within five (5) business days, even if you do not have the listed lots in stock. 

You can also fax the Product Response Form to 877-542-5932. For shipping assistance or 

questions about the recall process, please contact Sedgwick at 877-227-9560 and refer to Event 

Number “2962”.
