Cough syrup recall over mould risk from ingredients
Parents are being urged to check bottles of own-brand blackcurrant cough syrup because of a problem with one of the ingredients.

No cases have been identified so far but eight products are being recalled as a precaution.
The UK body which regulates medicines said the cough syrup bottles should be returned.
