While there is no issue with the medication, Wyeth has initiated a voluntary recall and replacement for all U.S retail outlets concerning several Robitussin and Children's Dimetapp Cold and Chest Congestion products.
The recall involves the removal of all products that come with a dosage cap due to the fact that the cap does not have a half-teaspoon mark which is the recommended dosage for children between the ages of 2 and 6.
Products Being Recalled & Replaced:
- Robitussin(R) Cough DM
Robitussin(R) Cough & Cold CF - Robitussin(R) Cough & Congestion
- Robitussin(R) Chest Congestion
- Robitussin(R) Head & Chest Congestion PE
- Robitussin(R) Cough Sugar Free DM
- Children's Dimetapp(R) Cold & Chest Congestion
The company is suggesting that parents and caregivers not use the medicine in children between the ages of 2 and 6.

With so many recalls and a report that 80% of drug products come from China, a recall of any medicine product will not shock consumers. We are looking for MADE IN THE USA labeling. Corporations need to start reading consumer comments. Consumers have gone from being alarmed to being "fighting mad" over harmful products. And, yes, we do care where they were made.
