Worried Parents in China Wait for Answers on Tainted Formula.

Harried nurses at Children's Hospital on the east side of Beijing spent Wednesday behind a small desk, registering infants in a rapidly filling logbook. Anxious parents, fearing they might have unwittingly fed their infants tainted formula, waited for hours to determine if their babies had been harmed. One father, Zhang Gaofeng, 35, had waited more than a day at the hospital with his wife, Wang Hui, and their 22-month-old daughter, Yue. The couple had fed Yue the Sanlu brand of baby formula now at the center of a nationwide food safety scandal that has left three infants dead and sickened more than 6,000 babies. Mr. Zhang, a migrant worker, blamed corporate greed. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
