  2. China: Hundreds of babies fed tainted milk (September 13, 2008 -- Updated 1129 GMT (1929 HKT)) Chinese officials said Saturday that 432 babies now have kidney stones after being fed with contaminated baby milk powder, the official Xinhua news agency reported. One baby in Gansu province has died as a result of kidney stones related to the milk powder, the news agency said. "It is a severe food safety accident," senior Chinese health ministry official GaoQiang told a news conference, in a statement reported by Xinhua. The manufacturer has already recalled more than 8,200 tons of the tainted formula following reports of babies developing kidney stones, Xinhua said. Sanlu Group, one of China's leading dairy producers, has also sealed off more than 2,100 tons of contaminated product and another 700 tons still need to be recalled, the news agency said. Testing by Sanlu found melamine in 700 tons of its product, the news agency reported. Zhao told the news agency that the suspects added water to the milk they sold to Sanlu to make more money, then added the chemical so the diluted milk could still meet standards. Health experts say ingesting melamine can lead to kidney stones, urinary tract ulcers, and eye and skin irritation.
