TUCSON, AZ (Tucson News Now) - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is warning consumers about a Chinese-made cough liquid that contains morphine.



An FDA drug alert issued on Friday, Jan. 15 said the "Licorice Coughing Liquid" has label information in Chinese and English, but the presence of morphine is not listed in English.



Consumers who are very sensitive to morphine could suffer from a severe allergic reaction if they take the syrup, according to the FDA.



The FDA recommends consumers should not take the syrup if they bought it.



The product was made by a pharmaceutical group in China and distributed in the U.S. by a Pomona, California company. The syrup had been available online and in retail stores.



The distributor said it will recall the liquid, according to the FDA.
