Chinese dairies to compensate those poisoned by melamine

Around 294,000 children became ill and at least six died when they drank melamine contaminated infant formula and the Chinese companies responsible are ready to compensate those families for their losses.

China’s Dairy Industry Association announced that 22 producers will make a one time payment to the families of the victims, but did not disclose a dollar amount. The companies decided to compensate the families on their own accord because Chinese courts haven’t accepted one lawsuit so far filed by the families.

Melamine was used to artificially increase protein levels in the milk that the dairy suppliers watered down after purchased from farmers.

At least the families will be getting something, meaning that the problem was at least acknowledged and the companies are feeling some sort of remorse.
