China milk scandal: 53,000 children fall ill from contaminated milk powder

A total of 52,857 children had been brought to hospitals after falling ill, a Health Ministry spokesman said. Most had "basically recovered" but 12,892 of them remained hospitalised, he added.

The ministry said the toll of children ill from milk powder contaminated with the industrial chemical melamine had risen dramatically from the previous figure of 6,244.

A further 39,965 children had "received clinical treatment and advice" before being sent home.

More than 80 per cent of the sick were aged under two. So far, four deaths have been blamed on the toxic milk powder, which causes kidney stones and other complications. Another 104 children are in a serious condition.

Got Milk?

I honestly do not know why people continue to buy products from Communist China...not even their own people are safe from the shoddy products.

Just say "No!" to ChiComm products.
