Cough drops sold nationwide recalled: FDA

NEW YORK (WPIX) — A China-based company is voluntarily recalling numerous cough drop products sold across the U.S., according to the Food and Drug Administration.

The FDA recommended the recall after a manufacturing facility inspection on Aug. 15, 2025, resulted in observations “that may bear on product quality,” the agency noted. However, specific details were not disclosed.

Xiamen Kang Zhongyuan Biotechnology Co., Ltd., headquartered in Xiamen, China, initiated the recall on March 20, 2026. On Friday, the FDA classified the recall as Class II.
