104 babies 'critical' in China milk scandal

Shijiazhuang is the capital of Hebei, which is also the homeland of the well known dairy trade company, Sanlu Group. An incident has occurred to the company that many children who drank their milk products are developing symptoms of kidney stone. This is cause by melamine, an industrial chemical used to make plastic. Many supermarkets are taking all Sanlu milk products off their shelves and stopping the imports from the company. The big issue in the article is that babies are being poisoned by the tainted milk formula. Supermarkets are not accepting Sanlu products anymore as well as having a hard time from the citizens who are affected.


This article touches on the topic of merchandise returns and allowances because it talks about the milk products being stopped from imports and are taken off the shelves. When all the products are taken off the shelves, it means that the supermarkets believe the products are defective and are going to be returned to the wholesaler (Sanlu). Sanlu will be troubled by many credit invoices that they are going to receive from their customers because of this scandal. The credit invoice transactions will reverse the process of receiving money to now, owning money back to customers.


After reading this article, I feel sorry for the families and, especially, the babies having to suffer through this because of careless mistakes of ones act. China has to be more careful on the quality of what they produce. If not, the consequences can be large. But for that chemical to happen to appear in the milk products is because there too much waste near their factory. Even though it is not affecting me but I am Asian. I wish China can become a well known and positive country that I can be proud of.
