The plant in India’s southern Tamil Nadu state produced eyedrops that have been linked to 68 bacterial infections in the U.S., including three deaths and eight cases of vision loss. Four people have had their eyeballs surgically removed due to infection. The drops were recalled in February by two U.S. distributors, EzriCare and Delsam Phama.

There have been comments on previous discussions here that indicate the safety culture in Indian drug manufacturing is shockingly bad.

If you have ever lived in, been to, or even seen videos of life in India, then this would not be shocking.

The people living there, and especially working the low paid jobs in these factories and whatnot, have bigger risks to worry about than safety in drug manufacturing.
