Beijing police raid bogus Viagra factory
BEIJING — Beijing police have raided an underground factory making fake Viagra pills, the anti-impotence drug, state media reported Wednesday.
Xinhua News Agency said police found nearly 2,000 fake copies of the distinctive blue pills in the factory in eastern Beijing, along with machines, packing materials and trade mark logos, all worth an estimated US$320,000. The raid comes just days after Viagra maker Pfizer Inc. said it had appealed a Chinese court ruling that lets a rival use one of the Chinese-language names for its popular drug.
