PARENTS who have purchased own-brand cough syrup are being urged to check the bottle and see if it needs replacing.
An issue has been discovered with one of the ingredients which could cause them to allow mould to grow.
There is a low risk that the mould could make the child unwell or cause a reaction, although no cases have yet been reported.
