Liang Zhang, Synutra chairman and CEO said: “Synutra was deeply affected by the false statements reported by Phoenix TV, which linked our products to alleged cases of premature development in infants. Though further investigation and product testing have demonstrated our products are not linked to the alleged cases, the ensuing media coverage has disrupted our business operations and caused severe financial and reputational damage to us. We would like for Phoenix TV to publicly acknowledge its actions and the ensuing effects.”
