Many illnesses and deaths were reported in the US prior to the ban because of this problem. After the ban, what did all the baby formula companies do with the banned baby formula? They started selling it in 3rd world countries and are now killing 3rd world kids instead. There was a big debate in the UN recently about trying to stop this. Reagan refused to cooperate.
