Food Poisoning: Wal-Mart Pulled Hanwei
Eggs From The Shelves Across November 03, 2008 - 09:11 AM Source of Article: http://stcloud.injuryboard.com/toxic-substances/food-poisoning-walmart-pulled-hanwei-eggs-from-the-shelves-across-china.aspx?googleid=250276 Due to the finding of Melamine, Wal-Mart has removed Hanwei eggs from the shelves of its Chinese
supermarkets. Melamine is a chemical used in making plastics and fertilizer.
Recently it has been in properly used by companies to up the perceived
protein content. Director Han Wei of Hanwei Eggs
stated. "We solemnly apologize to consumers. We apologize to the
distributors. We solemnly declare that our company has never purchased
melamine. We have never adopted melamine to the feeds or products." Testing that was done suggests that the melamine level
was nearly double the maximum permissible level. These findings are
significant because this summer melamine tainted milk powder sickened more
than 50,000 Chinese children and led to the deaths of four babies. The World
Health Organization says that melamine and cyanuric
crystals which can grow and block the tunules have
been found in the kidneys of some Chinese children. If you suffer from food poisoning, you need to get
immediate medical care. If it continues or there are long term affects you
should contact an attorney
concerning the problem. Early investigation can include the collection of
samples, checking for health alerts, and the proper notifying of those that
caused the problem. |
