Woman alarmed after discovering what could be flake of metal in cough syrup - WCVB Boston
Lauren Piraino was alarmed at what she found in a bottle of Zarbee's Naturals Children's Cough and Mucus cough syrup that her grand-nephew had just taken.
The Woburn woman thinks it could be a flake of metal, after she found others discussing a similar complaint about Zarbee's products on the company's Facebook page.

When she saw those posts, she did some investigating of her own.
"I went to the kitchen and dumped the product into the cup and low and behold there was a huge piece of metal in it," Piraino claims.
She said by the time she made the discovery, her 10 month old grand-nephew had already taken a dose.
"There was one piece we found that was enormous, but we have no idea if he ingested any of it and it could've been small pieces, so we'll be watching him very carefully," she said.
In a statement, a Zarbee's spokesperson said, "we take every consumer concern very seriously and are actively investigating this event with the utmost urgency and care."
Zarbees said they adhere to rigorous quality standards and are working with their manufacturer partners as they investigate.
The company said safety of the consumer is always their top priority.
