There are some products which are harmful to our health and so its banned in many countries but not in India. And here's the list:
1. Medicinal Drugs:
Among the long list of banned medicines outside India are commonly used
drugs like Novalgin, D-Cold, Enteroquinal, Furoxone and Lomofen
(anti-diarrheal), Nimulid, Analgin (pain killer), Ciza and Syspride,
(acidity and constipation), Nimesulide (painkiller) and Buclizine
(appetite stimulant), which are still being sold on the Indian market. These medicines should be banned as soon as possible.
2. India's Most Demanding Cars :
India's best selling car Maruti-Suzuki Alto 800 and a few others like
the Tata Nano and the Hyundai i10 failed the independent crash test
conducted by Gobal NCAP. The structure of these cars proved inadequate
and collapsed to varying degrees, resulting in high risks of
life-threatening injuries to the occupants. The extent of the structural
weaknesses in these models were such that the fitted airbags would not
be effective in reducing the risk of serious injury. Surprisingly, these
cars with all its inadequacies are being sold in India. So Indian drivers please
be careful!
3. Honey :
A 2010 story published in The Hindu said that branded honey sold in
the country was contaminated. When Centre for Science and Environment
examined 12 branded honey products that were sold in India, including
those made by companies like Dabur, Himalaya, Patanjali, Baidyanath,
Khadi and two foreign organisations based out of Switzerland and
Australia, scientists found high levels of six harmful antibiotics in 11
samples.
Indian companies who export their products abroad, and foreign
companies by default, must conform to stringent standards as most
developed countries have banned or strictly regulated antibiotics in
honey. So setting an example of double standards, most Indian companies
dump the contaminated honey on the domestic market in the country, since
there are no regulations here.
“It is clear that foreign companies are taking advantage of the lack
of regulations in India. After all, if our government does not care
about the health of its people, why should these companies care?” CSE
director Sunita Narain was quoted telling by the daily.
4. Pesticide:
67 pesticides which are banned or restricted in many international
markets are still in use in India. Expert committees set up by the
Central government have examined the matter and they recommended
continued use of the pesticides in most cases while restricted use was
recommended for some. Some pesticides still used in India include
Carbaryl, Malathion, Acephate, Dimethoate, Chlorpyrifos, Lindane,
Quinalphos, Phosphomidon, Carbandizm, Captan, Tridamorph, Practilachlor,
2.4–D and Glyphosate.
5. Kinder Joy:
Kinder Surprise or Kinder Joy is banned in the US.
Well if you try taking one of these into the US you could be fined up
to $2,500 per illegal Kinder egg. Because a toy is kept inside a
confection, Kinder eggs are embargoed from point of entry into the US.
The embedded toy within the candy is deemed a choking risk for small
children.
