Baby dies as milk scare spreads across China

TAINTED milk formula has killed one baby and caused the development of kidney stones in dozens of others who may have drunk the same product, Chinese authorities said yesterday, in a grim reminder of a milk-powder scandal that killed 13 infants four years ago.

Traces of cyanuramide, which can cause kidney stones, were found in Sanlu-brand milk formula, the Ministry of Health said.

The Sanlu Group issued an immediate recall of milk formula made before August 6.
