Indias largest drug maker falsifies test results

Indias largest drug maker, Ranbaxy Laboratories, has falsified lab tests for some of its drugs.

Since 2006, investigators from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration at one plant have reportedly turned up reams of laboratory tests that were inaccurate or missing information, according to the Food and Drug Administration.

Peter Eisner, the former deputy foreign editor of the Washington Post, produced and reported the Worldfocus signature story Contaminated drug imports threaten Americans. He joins Martin Savidge to discuss the threat level posed by this particular generic drug manufactured in India, the FDAs role overseas and prospects for improvement.
