Punjab & Haryana Ban Coldrif Syrup After Deaths In MP
**Punjab and Haryana Ban Coldrif Cough Syrup Following Child Deaths in Madhya Pradesh**
Chandigarh: In response to the tragic deaths of 14 children reportedly linked to the consumption of Coldrif cough syrup in Madhya Pradesh, the states of Punjab and Haryana have imposed an immediate ban on the product.
The Punjab government, in an order issued on Monday, stated that Coldrif syrup has been declared “not of standard quality” by the government analyst, drug testing laboratory, and Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) of Madhya Pradesh.
“Considering the seriousness of the matter, as the said product has been observed to be linked to the recent deaths of children in Chhindwara district, Madhya Pradesh, the above-mentioned product is hereby completely prohibited for sale, distribution and utilisation in the state of Punjab with immediate effect in public interest,” the order read.
The directive further instructed all retailers, distributors, registered medical practitioners, and hospitals within Punjab not to purchase, sell, or use the syrup. Additionally, it requested that any existing stock of the drug in the state be reported to the FDA.
It may be recalled that the 14 child deaths were reportedly caused by this cough syrup, which is manufactured in Tamil Nadu. Investigations revealed the syrup was adulterated with diethylene glycol, a highly poisonous substance harmful to human health.
Both Punjab and Haryana’s swift actions aim to prevent any further harm and ensure public safety.
