Since they're just doing it as a safety measure and didn't try to put paradichlorobenzene(I know how to draw that from looking at the name now :D), I'm not so worried. Especially since they decided to recall it too, so keep consumer confidence in their product high. That's actually a good move. Money is little sacrifice to show consumers your company's integrity and standards.Quote:

It's unfortunate, but stuff like this happening so many times has pushed that image from the individual companies to the Chinese manufacturing industry in general.
It's affecting me already. My wife just threw away my stockpile of instant noodles and cup ramen. :eek:Quote:

Ouch, that's rough.Quote:

I don't know where I heard this from, maybe the news, my parents, or this very forum, but apparently the Chinese government received complaints about the milk powder, and already suspected possible contamination before the Olympic Games. Needless to say why they only took action now if that was the case.
They should make the bosses of those companies eat their own products. That would be quite a punishment.
The melamine in the recent milk scandal isn't that bad for adults. Since adults who can drink fresh milk tend to do so, they'll really only consume it through other products, such as chocolate. It was detrimental to babies' health though, since all they drink is milk in its powdered form (for those who don't get a human feed), and their kidney's not developed enough to get rid of toxin. The babies would risk kidney failure, while adults who take an absurdly high amount would probably get kidney stones.Quote:

Hey, I never said they wouldn't be forced to drink absurdly high amounts. Kidney stones are said to be one of the most painful diseases you can acquire, making it more fitting.
You're not helping your "Nazi Doctor" image :rolleyes:Quote:

She is a model for all hot women in the world. The porkers can stay on the side and watch in angst.
I'm sure she didn't get fired because the headmaster got something in return.

The day it actually happens... That'd be one of the best days.Quote:
