You know the Coldrif cough syrup that made headlines after children died in Madhya Pradesh? The World Health Organization (WHO) has now issued a warning about three toxic syrups in India. Tests found deadly levels of diethylene glycol, a dangerous chemical, in Coldrif and two other syrups. Authorities confirmed these medicines were not exported, but the tragic deaths have sparked nationwide concern.
