Kobayashi Pharmaceutical is investigating 76 additional deaths potentially linked to its dietary supplements containing 'Beni-Koji' red yeast. This brings the total number of deaths under scrutiny to 80, as five had been previously confirmed. The supplements, intended to lower cholesterol, have raised significant concerns, prompting the Japanese health ministry to get involved. The case has highlighted issues regarding how companies are allowed to self-report claims about their products.
