ANCHOR: An update on China's tainted milk products. On Monday chocolate candy producer Cadbury recalled 11 types of chocolate products from shelves in Hong Kong and the Mainland that were tainted with melamine. And now one Hong Kong legislator is calling for a ban of all dairy products made in China. STORY: China's melamine crisis continues. It's not only Cadbury products that are tainted. Lipton three-in-one milk tea also found the dangerous chemical melamine in some of its products and has called for a recall. Hong Kong councilor Wah-Ming Li calls Cadbury just plain irresponsible. [Wah-Ming Li, Hong Kong Legislative Council]: (quote1, male) From the beginning of the recalls there was just a mention that the products might have a quality problem... without mentioning melamine. It completely ignored consumers rights to know. I dont think that a big company should do such kind of a thing. Councilor Li wants to take food safety to a new level. [Wah-Ming Li, Hong Kong Legislative Council]: (quote2, male): I felt that the Hong Kong government should react and ban all diary products made in China. He says that the Hong Kong governments slow response to product recalls is a result of pressure from the Chinese Communist Party. [Wah-Ming Li, Hong Kong Legislative Council]: (quote3, male): When facing the mainland government, in particular, the Hong Kong government became more careful. It does not dare to do anything especially beyond the law, for example, asking mainland China not to export. They cannot do it. Councilor Li says he'll propose an amendment to Hong Kong law that gives the government more power to clamp down on companies that have melamine-tainted products. NTD Hong Kong
