China: Third baby dies from tainted milk formula

It seems that now 3 babies have died do to tainted milk formula containing "the same chemical involved in a massive pet food recall last year." Mengniu Dairy Group, Chinas largest producer of milk had a recall on three batches of formula made in January. The recall took place after tests showed they were contaminated with melamine. Melamine shouldn't be added to food ingredients, but suppliers in China put this in food to make the substance seem more protein rich.
Over 1,300 infants have been hospitalized with illnesses like malnutrition, kidney stones, and acute renal failure. Two brothers were arrested who Chinese officials say supplied three tons of milk each day to the Sanlu Group, which makes baby formula on Monday. At least 6,300children have now fallen ill, not all have been hospitalized.
Something like this is a big warning, companies need to be so careful, especially when it comes to a product meant for infants. I believe that the Mengniu Dairy Group will be seeing lots of fines and law suits. This is a terrible thing isn't the first time something like this has happened.
