BEIJING (AFP) ? A Chinese man was sentenced to eight years in jail in what is believed to be the first conviction in a scandal over the widespread sale of potentially lethal baby milk powder, the supreme court said.
Li Xindao, a shopkeeper in Taolao township of eastern Anhui province, was convicted of selling a sub-standard formula that caused the death of a four-month-old girl in December last year, the court said on its website Thursday.
"Acting out of a profit motive, he deliberately sold food products that he knew did not conform with the standards," the county court in nearby Linquan city said in its ruling.
