A Chinese newspaper has accused the US company Wyeth for causing kidney stones in children.

It has been claimed that their baby formula is responsible for developing kidney stones in at least 20 babies.

Wyeth has denied the allegations on their corporate website.

During 2008, 6 babies died and over 300,000 children became sick in China after consuming contaminated baby formula. As a result of that scandal, 3 people were sentenced to death and one person was jailed for life.
