the first legal case of milk scandal

A couple in Guangdong has decided to sue Sanlu Group for producing adulterated milk powder, which has resulted in kidney stone of their child, this report says.  It is the first legal case since the milk scandal broke out in August. 

The couple has appealed to claim financial compensation worth RMB 900,000.00 from Sanlu Group and China Diary Industry Association, but the case hasn't been accepted immediately by the middle-level people's court in Guangzhou as the amount is less than 50 million RMB - the entry-level for such a case. According to the report, after the lawyer made some effort on emphasizing the uniqueness of the case, the local court finally received the legal file, and promised to reconsider whether or not it will be formally entering into legal procedures. 

It's an open end for the first step. Could it be rolled into a collective lawsuit against Sanlu Group and other manufacturers? Let's see.
