US EditionChildren’s Cough Syrup Recalled over Bacteria Concerns
- On June 19, 2025, Medtech Products Inc. initiated a recall of five batches of their Little Remedies Honey Cough Syrup sold nationwide due to potential bacterial contamination.
- The recall was initiated after Bacillus cereus was found in 4-ounce bottles of the product, which were sold both in stores and via online platforms nationwide from mid-December 2022 through early June 2025.
- Bacillus cereus can lead to two types of foodborne illnesses: one that causes nausea, vomiting, and stomach pain beginning within 1 to 6 hours of consumption, and another that results in stomach cramps and diarrhea appearing 8 to 16 hours after exposure.
- The FDA urged consumers to stop using the product immediately and contact a healthcare provider if complications occur; Medtech offers full refunds and reports no serious adverse events to date.
- The recall affects only the Honey Cough Syrup lots and does not impact other Little Remedies products, suggesting targeted risk mitigation by the manufacturer and regulators.
