A dozen Indonesian families whose relatives died or were injured after consuming tainted cough syrups have sued the government and companies accused of supplying the products, according to a lawsuit.
JAKARTA, Indonesia —
Awan Puryadi, a legal representative of the victims’ relatives, told AFP they took action because the authorities failed to prevent the sale of harmful medicines and the subsequent child deaths or injuries. Families are seeking compensation of around 2 billion rupiah for every person killed and around 1 billion rupiah for every person injured, the lawyer said.
