"Nigeria's [not U.S.A.'s!] food and drug agency says that 25 children aged between three months and four years have died after taking a contaminated teething syrup... It said the syrup, called My Pikin, had been tainted with diethylene glycol. The substance, used in engine coolant and anti-freeze, triggered kidney failure in the children, it said."
