Multiple African countries have issued a recall for a batch of Johnson & Johnson children’s cough syrup due to laboratory tests finding elevated levels of toxicity.
“Nigeria’s National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) announced the recall after laboratory tests found an unacceptably high level of diethylene glycol, which is toxic to humans, prompting regulators in five other African countries to also issue recalls,” Reuters reports.
Drug regulators in Tanzania, Rwanda, Kenya, South Africa, and Zimbabwe also issued recalls of the drug.

The Medicines Control Authority of Zimbabwe (MCAZ) director-general Richard Rukwata stated on Monday that the organization had decided to recall the product.
