"China has suspended the sale and use of an injectable herbal remedy after six people suffered adverse reactions, including three who died.Still think they know what a "safe" supplement/herbal remedy is?
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.
The SFDA isolated two batches of the remedy and urged immediate nationwide reporting of any adverse effects. The suspension comes as China is trying to reassure consumers amid a widespread tainted dairy scandal, the latest to mar the country's already troubled product safety record."
