Chinese herbal injection suspended after 3 deaths
China has suspended the sale and use of an injectable herbal remedy after six people suffered adverse reactions, including three who died.
The State Food and Drug Administration said in a notice posted late Wednesday that the six suffered 'serious ill effects' after being injected with an extract from an herb called Ciwujia made by Wandashan Pharmaceutical.
