There was a case in China where a baby’s face swelled with baby cream. The Chinese are angry with the constant accidents of baby products.
This is a report by Beijing Correspondent Song Wook.

This is a 5 month old baby girl.
His face was swollen like a balloon and his forehead had a lot of hair.
As the child’s weight gained rapidly, the parents went to the hospital and diagnosed with hormonal problems.
After confirming that there was no problem with breast milk, parents suspected the infant skin cream they had used.
When we checked the ingredients with a famous Chinese blogger, we found steroids in the cream.

After a big controversy on the Internet, the cream maker insisted that the product was fine.
China’s health authorities have forced the product in question to be retrieved, and launched a major investigation into the product and its companies.

Earlier in May last year, in Hunan Province, China, there was an incident where infants and toddlers ate fake milk powder and their heads grew bigger.
Children who ate a product that had little nutritional requirements as a special formula were known to have slow growth and were diagnosed with rickets.
In the wake of the 2008 industrial melamine milk powder shock in which hundreds of thousands of people were damaged, the voices of Chinese people’s anger and demand for severe punishment are growing in the ongoing baby products incident.
