China reveals 300,000 children were made ill by tainted milk


A statement posted on online government media overnight said that 294,000 babies and young children had suffered "urinary system abnormalities" after drinking formula milk from Sanlu, the company most seriously affected, and other brand names.

Previously the government said that just over 50,000 babies had received hospital treatment for kidney stones.

It also said that six babies had died - up from the previous four, a figure becoming increasingly untenable as more and more parents told their stories to Chinese-language newspapers outside the Chinese mainland.
