The children had all used a "special medical milk powder" purchased at a local maternal and child store after being diagnosed with a milk allergy and doctors recommended that they use amino acid milk powder, according to reports. The salesperson who sold the "milk powder" to the parents at the shop claimed that the product is the best-selling "milk powder" for children with the allergy. The company also said it is not clear why the product was sold at maternal and child stores to children with milk allergies. In March 30, a joint letter was released by several parents in Chenzhou whose kids developed "big-head" disease after using another special medical "milk powder" that doctors had recommended for children allergic to milk. The doctor in question was later found to have been working with a maternal and child store to promote the product to the patients, which actually is also a solid drink.
