New Delhi: The samples of eye-drops manufactured by India's Global Pharma Healthcare, which were linked to three deaths and blindness in some patients in US, are found to be "free of contamination", said Health Ministry sources on Tuesday.

Last year, dozens of deaths were reported among children in Gambia and Uzbekistan allegedly due to Indian cough syrups.
Cough and cold syrups manufactured by New Delhi-based Maiden Pharmaceuticals were linked to deaths of at least 70 children in Gambia, while Delhi-based Marion Biotech's cough syrups were linked to the deaths of 18 children in Uzbekistan.
