I tried to fix this article up a bit, but the last section about China needs help content-wise. I belive the author was pointing to the middleman as being the cause as opposed to China, but they didn't make this clear. GIBBOUS3 :D ( talk) 09:42, 20 June 2009 (UTC) reply

The Cough medicine article states that diethylene glycol was used, whereas this article states ethylene glycol.

Diethylene glycol is the correct chemical. I've edited the article to reflect this. 98.71.197.202 ( talk) 18:38, 17 August 2009 (UTC) reply

I quickly compared Special:Contributions/49.37.249.99's edit against the articles they referenced, and there's a significant disparity (part of their edit is not even related to Toxic Cough Syrups, it's about contaminated heart medicine). Unfortunately, I can't do anything about it, as it takes considerably more effort to correct a broken edit than to write one from scratch. Turk185 ( talk) 13:51, 30 September 2023 (UTC) reply

I have made some corrections. CurryCity ( talk) 23:36, 30 September 2023 (UTC) reply
