Indian firm Marion Biotech used toxic industrial-grade ingredient in syrup: Sources

Indian manufacturer Marion Biotech used a toxic industrial-grade ingredient, propylene glycol (PG) which is a toxic material widely used in products such as detergents and antifreeze, instead of the pharmaceutical version in cough syrups that were said to have poisoned 19 children in Uzbekistan. The company purchased the ingredient from trader Maya Chemtech India, which did not have a license to sell pharmaceutical-grade materials. Marion also failed to test the ingredient before using it in the syrups.
