June 16 marks the 10th anniversary of China’s tainted milk powder scandal, when milk powder laced with poisonous melamine sickened hundreds of thousands of infants and caused at least six deaths. Ten years later, Chinese authorities are still stamping out any mention of the incident to keep it from public memory.
Jiang Yalin, whose 11-year-old daughter suffers from kidney stones as a result of consuming the melamine-tainted milk powder as an infant, is a member of “Kidney Stone Babies,” a group founded in 2008 to help parents seek legal redress for their children’s illnesses.
