Second Lawsuit Filed In Tainted Milk Scandal

From AP:

A second lawsuit has been filed against a Chinese dairy company at the heart of the tainted milk crisis, an attorney said Friday, as more than 10,000 children remained hospitalized after drinking milk powder laced with an industrial chemical.

Zhang Xiuwen, a migrant worker from southern Guangdong province, sued Sanlu Group Co., after his 11-month-old son was diagnosed with kidney stones, his lawyer Chen Beiyuan said. The baby had been fed formula produced by the company since birth.

The Guangzhou Intermediate People’s Court has yet to accept the lawsuit, which seeks $132,000 in compensation, Chen said in a telephone interview. He said he was also planning to sue the Dairy Association in China for failing to supervise its members.
