The World Health Organization warned Monday of the presence of a contaminated batch of cough syrup found in Iraq, manufactured by an Indian company.
The UN-affiliated organization stated in its warning that the batch of cough syrup, sold under the name “Cold Out,” contains contaminants diethylene glycol and ethylene glycol at levels higher than permitted.
The organization noted that the batch was manufactured by “Fortis Laboratories India” for “Dabi Life Pharma.”
Both companies did not respond to Reuters’ requests for comments outside of business hours.
