Indian Cough Syrups Allegedly Kill Children Again

The World Health Organisation (WHO) on Monday issued a health advisory warning about three contaminated cough syrups identified in India and urged authorities to report any detections to the agency. 

The health agency said the affected medicines are specific batches of COLDRIF, Respifresh TR and ReLife, manufactured by Sresan Pharmaceutical, Rednex Pharmaceuticals and Shape Pharma. 

India's health authority, the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO), told WHO the syrups were reportedly consumed by 17 children under five who died in India last week.

Malaysia's Sivasangari Subramaniam maintained her fine form by booking a spot in the quarter-finals of the Silicon Valley Open 2025 in Redwood City, United States, yesterday. 

The squash tournament’s third seed proved too strong for Egypt’s Kenzy Ayman, cruising to an 11-4, 11-9, 11-8 win in the second round.
