The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) confirmed on Friday that the toxic cough syrups linked to the deaths of children in India have not been distributed in the United States.

Indian authorities recently advised the public to avoid two additional brands of cough syrup after 17 children under the age of five died last month. Officials confirmed the deaths were linked to the Coldrif brand, which contained diethylene glycol at levels nearly 500 times above the permissible limit. The brand was subsequently banned on October 2 following laboratory tests confirming the presence of the toxic chemical.

The US FDA stated it is closely monitoring reports of contamination involving diethylene glycol and ethylene glycol in children’s cough and cold medicines in India, underscoring the ongoing public health concerns.

Out of my 65 years in United States, I used toilet paper for first 60 years and bidet for last 5 years. I will never go back to dry cleaning my butt. The bidet cleans 100 times better. Growing up in India, during my first 20 years of life, we had flush toilets and tap water to clean butt. So much cleaner than dry paper wiping.
