The Chinese manufacturer of a ginseng injection that killed three people has recalled all its injection products, the country's drug safety watchdog said Saturday.
Wandashan Pharmaceutical, based in the northeast province of Heilongjiang, voluntarily recalled all its injection products on Friday, the State Food and Drug Administration said in a statement on its website.
Six hospital patients in southwest China were given the ginseng injection at the beginning of October, and subsequently began to suffer chills, vomiting and sudden drops in blood pressure. Three of them died, and the other three remain under observation, according to the official Xinhua news agency.
