The counter-case
The case against this reading — not reported by the source.
The cancellation could interrupt local supply, raise remediation costs and undermine confidence in the subsidiary’s distribution controls. Storage and expired-medicine handling deficiencies would be more consequential if repeated elsewhere. However, a single warehouse action does not establish a company-wide sales restriction or manufacturing ban.
