China recalls another herbal drug after baby death

More traditional Chinese medicine.
"China has recalled a herbal remedy after it was blamed for the death of a newborn baby, state media said on Monday, in the latest health scare to hit the country.

The 9-day-old baby in the northern province of Shaanxi died after being injected with 'Yinzhihuang,' a remedy containing herbal extracts and used to treat liver diseases and infantile jaundice, the official Xinhua news agency said.

Three other infants had suffered 'adverse effects' after being injected and hospitals have been told to stop using the drug, the report said, citing the Ministry of Health."
"Adverse effects"?

I'll say.

Still think they know what a "safe" supplement/alternative "cure" is?
