Recently on Thursday, six infants died, while 300,000 others were sickened by tainted milk in China. Sanlu made 905 metric tons of melamine-tainted baby formula powder and out of that 905 sold 813 metric tons of tainted products that were made with contaminated milk. Many people involved in this harmful insident were either sentenced to jail for a period of time ranging from around three to ten months, the deathy penalty, and some have yet to punished. The middle aged men who were sentenced to the death penalty were those who sold melamine to milking stations to add the chemical into the milk. In addition, this tainted contaminated milk has also been proven to cause kidney stones for some infants that took in some of this bad milk. In the end, this is a serious matter where mad milk has come to hurt many hundred thousands and even kill.
