The tainted products that sickened Chinese babies aren't allowed in the U.S., where formula-making is tightly regulated. BABIES in China are obviously at risk from tainted infant formula. More than 54,000 children in that nation have been sickened and at least four have died in recent weeks after drinking contaminated milk products. But despite recent contamination of other Chinese products consumed by Americans, the threat from such products to children and infants in the U.S. appears minimal.
