What Happened
Dr. Sivaranjini Santhosh quit the Indian Academy of Pediatrics after an eight-year campaign against misleading ORS labeling. She opposed Kenvue's rebranded drink eRZL, claiming similar packaging could confuse consumers about its non-WHO-compliant formula. The IAP issued a statement addressing sucralose concerns instead of supporting her stance. Dr. Santhosh filed trademark opposition, warning that children could mistake the product for genuine ORS.
