I thought the very same thing.  The first time I read about this, I had to dig 
into the article to determine that it really was baby formula they were talking 
about.  It amazes and horrifies me that the formula companies have somehow 
achieved a status of unquestionability (not a word, I know!).  You can read 
headlines about mothers killing babies, about babies becoming strangled in 
cribs, all sorts of gruesome things that occur to babies you can read about in 
news headlines, so it isn't that the news industry has determined that we as a 
society are somehow too sensitive to read headlines about babies being 
killed.  Yet, somehow, nobody is brave enough to put a simple 
sentence 'babies killed by tainted formula' into newsprint.  One could argue 
that there would be a desire to prevent a mass hysteria, but I can guarantee 
you if any other food product were tainted, perhaps a favorite breakfast 
cereal, we'd read all about it. 

It just makes me wonder how formula has gotten into this safe, protected 
zone.
