The Friday Freakout continues.
At least two deaths, 1,253 hospitalized kids, and parental complaints dating back to as early as March.

Melamine is the same contaminant that caused the huge pet food killoff in the US last year. Sanlu is one of the country's largest dairy producers. I don't speak much Mandarin, but I think their name translates as "Third Nipple."
