KIGALI, April 15 - Drug regulators in Tanzania, Rwanda and Zimbabwe have recalled a batch of Johnson & Johnsonchildren's cough syrup as a precautionary measure after their Nigerian counterpart said laboratory tests found high levels of toxicity.
"This is an exercise that does not involve investigation but rather monitoring to ensure that those affected drugs are removed from the market," TMDA spokesperson Gaudensia Simwanza told Reuters on Monday. "A review of our safety database doesn't reveal any adverse events reported," the Rwanda Food and Drugs Authority said in a statement dated April 12. "However, Rwanda FDA issues the present recall for precautionary measures."
Kenvue said in a statement that it was conducting its own assessment and working with health authorities to determine a course of action.
