flag India finds major safety flaws in 90% of cough syrup factories after child deaths linked to contaminated products.

flag India’s drug regulator inspected 90% of its cough syrup manufacturers—about 1,100 facilities—and found widespread compliance issues, including poor manufacturing practices, inadequate raw material testing, and flawed production methods. flag The findings follow multiple child deaths linked to contaminated syrups in India and abroad since 2022. flag The agency has also proactively inspected 1,250 additional drug units but did not disclose violation rates or shutdowns. flag Efforts to strengthen oversight include hiring 1,500 new staff, piloting AI for faster approvals, and streamlining exports to major markets by removing no-objection certificate requirements.
