In a public relations response from the government of China, a company's "license was revoked" this week on the back of a tainted leukemia drug made there which has apparently caused leg pain and partial paralysis in some patients.

It's hard to trust any consumable product from Chinese factories these days after numerous scandals rocked the country's manufacturing industry in 2007, and this can be added to the list. Want some tainted drugs for that condition? Look no further than China.

The company in question, Shanghai Hualian Pharmaceutical Co. -- which is state owned (oddly enough) -- will be fined the highest amount possible under Chinese law as well as products and profit forfeiture from sales of the methotrexate and cytarabin hydrochloride products.
