Gambia has enlisted the services of a United States law firm to explore potential legal recourse following the findings of a government-funded investigation, which concluded that contaminated medicine sourced from India was highly probable to be responsible for the deaths of a minimum of 70 children, Reuters have said
Justice Minister Dawda Jallow did not tell the news agency which entity they would make the claim against, not did Mr Jallow reveal the name of the law firm hired.
Reuters says the makers of the cough syrup, Maiden Pharmaceuticals, have denied any wrongdoing.
The Indian government says it found no toxins when it tested the medicines.
Yet tests by the WHO showed that the cough syrups contained two lethal toxins usually found in car break fluid.
