Possible Cover-up in China Milk Scandal More babies are getting sick from tainted Chinese milk power. And as the confirmed number of sick continues to rise, some details of the scandal suggest that communist officials may have known about the tainted milk over a month before they notified the public. Here's more: STORY: Chinese officials have said that roughly 53,000 children have been affected by drinking tainted baby formula. Over 100 are said to be in critical condition and to date there have been four confirmed deaths. The poisonous powdered milk was produced by Sanlu Group, one of China's largest dairy distributors. The formula was made toxic by the addition of melamine, a substance used in various plastics and flame retardant materials. Ingestion of melamine has been shown to cause the formation of kidney stones and, in some cases, acute kidney failure. [Chen Junshi, Researcher, China Center for Disease Control] "It's much scarier with young infants because their urinary tracts are very narrow, so they are easily blocked, and once they are blocked that leads to acute kidney failure." The Associated Press reports that Sanlu Group had notified some of its distributors as early as July that some of its milk was tainted and should be pulled from the shelves. There is evidence suggesting that Chinese officials were informed at about the same time. But the contamination was not made public until September 11—over a month later— and that raises questions of negligence and possibly a cover-up. According to AP, there are retailers with warehouses full of tainted Sanlu milk who have been unable to get refunds from the company. So far only a small handful of countries--including Indonesia, Bangladesh, and Malaysia--have barred dairy imports from China, but that may change. With lead in toys, toxic cough syrup, melamine-laced pet food and now melamine-tainted milk powder, questions about China's ability to regulate the safety of its exports loom large.
