BEIJING (AP) — The family of a baby whose death has been blamed on toxic milk filed suit against one of China’s largest dairies Monday, while another dairy ensnared in the scandal said it was a victim of unscrupulous subcontractors. The lawsuit against Shijiazhuang Sanlu Group Co. was filed over the May 1 death of 6-month-old Yi Kaixuan in the northwestern city of Lanzhou, the family’s lawyer said. It is the first to be filed over a child who died from drinking the tainted milk and asks for almost $160,000 in damages.—-Contact The Daily Reveille’s news staff at [email protected]
