Eyecatchers-209: Government knew of Johnson & Johnson faulty hip implants, took almost two years to ban
Government knew of Johnson & Johnson faulty hip implants, took almost two years to ban
The delay in cancelling the licence assumes significance as the firm told the expert committee — appointed by the Union Health Ministry in February 2017 — that it cannot trace as many as 3,600 patients who underwent the surgeries involving the faulty implant.

GLOBALLY, Johnson & Johnson recalled its faulty hip implant on August 24, 2010 but it took Indian regulators almost two years to ban its import and cancel its licence, official records obtained by The Indian Express reveal.
This despite the fact that the regulator, Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation, which comes under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, was informed of the global recall in 2010 itself.
Grateful thanks to Kaunain Sheriff M and The Indian Express

Wealthy Nations outsourcing Pollution

DEHRADUN: A SpiceJet
A turboprop aircraft named Haldi became India’s first plane carrying passengers to operate on biofuel when it flew from Dehradun to Delhi on Monday, raising hopes for low-emission flights less dependent on increasingly expensive jet fuel.
The biofuel, derived from the jhatropa plant grown by 500 farmer families in Chhattisgarh, was first tested on a 20-minute flight on Haldi with crew only in Dehradun a day earlier.
After the green fuel performed better than expected, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation cleared the first-ever flight with passengers on Monday.
“The flight result showed biofuel had 1.8% higher energy density than regular aviation turbine fuel,” said.
