Health officials have recalled a cough syrup for babies over concerns that it may be contaminated with bacteria that can, in rare cases, be deadly. 

Dollar General stores across the country are pulling DG/health NATURALS baby Cough Syrup + mucus from their shelves.  

A batch of the cough syrup may have come into contact with Bacillus cereus/Bacillus circulans, a type of bacteria that can cause vomiting and diarrhea. 

Typically these illnesses run their courses within a day but, in rare cases, toxins from the bacteria can cause kidney failure.    

Any bottle marked with the expiration date '11/20' should be returned or discarded immediately to safeguard babies against infection.
