The maker of White Rabbit sweets, given to US president Richard Nixon on a landmark 1972 trip, announced it was halting domestic sales after its products were found to contain melamine.

New cases of children falling ill after drinking tainted milk also continued to emerge in China.

In Beijing, for example, 176 new cases were detected, the Beijing Times reported Saturday.

A hospital in Taiwan also said Friday that three young children had developed kidney stones after drinking Chinese milk formula, and the mother of one of the children had also fallen ill.

The only other five cases of children falling ill from drinking tainted milk outside the mainland have so far been reported in Hong Kong.
