Aaron Industries Recalls Tussin DM Cough Syrup Due to Precipitate
Aaron Industries is recalling 108,792 bottles of Tussin DM cough syrup because a white substance, identified as the active ingredient Guaifenesin, was observed in some bottles.
What this means for you
Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class III, which by definition is unlikely to cause adverse health consequences. The hazard involves the presence of an active ingredient (Guaifenesin) as a precipitate, which is a cosmetic or quality defect rather than a toxic contamination.
