Global Corporation is recalling Broncochem Cold & Flu Syrup Kids (120 mL bottles) nationwide due to stability testing failures in active pharmaceutical ingredients.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: This is a Class II voluntary recall due to stability testing failures with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard—potential degradation of active pharmaceutical ingredients affecting drug efficacy—is theoretical rather than documented harm.
