Milk powder made ​​by Morinaga Milk Industry

I have found that milk powder made ​​by Morinaga Milk Industry Co., Ltd. is the cause of death in Okayama University School of Medicine. August 24, 1955, it s already are reported to the Ministry of Health and Welfare (now the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare) at the time through the Okayama Prefecture, its will be discovered as the incident.

According to the announcement of the Ministry of Health and Welfare 1956 (1956) at that time, with 12,344 people, the number of victims (neuropathy, such as organ failure) came out symptoms of poisoning by ingestion of arsenic, is 130 of whom are deceased. In addition, there is even time consumer rights has not been established for patients also were found, patients who have not taken the remedy satisfactory in many cases.

However, it is the era of high economic growth in Japan is of the highest priority at the time, the country was also aimed at the convergence standing in Morinaga side. There is a weakness in movement of the meeting to protect, the movement of the victim had been repressed. I looked like this way of incident or over.

Revelation of sequelae

However, that after 14 years, by people who (Osaka University Medical School) was Professor Hiroshi Maruyama guidance, potential sequelae remain in the victim was Aburidasa. The report is published in the Japanese Society of Public Health, the case was rekindled. Parents of the victim side expressed appreciation of the largest "savior appeared," he said.

Parents of victims to rally, meeting to protect the children of Morinaga milk poisoning resume activities. Boycott trial and struggle to exert a large force in that struggle.

Morinaga side is with all acquitted in one trial, but prosecutors appealed. Criminal trial continued in 1973 (up to 1973), but was adopted fear feeling theory the (Sing Sing negligence theory) in predictability judgment of negligence, one Tokushima factory original production manager has received a prison sentence ruling. By the way court cases found a sense of fear theory has been adopted is only is this ruling. For judgment of first instance was a shocking, victim side gave up a civil lawsuit, the remand decision of then, the victim side is that to proceed advantageously civil court. Sequelae problem will become apparent later, but Morinaga side has denied responsibility and cause-and-effect relationship for a long time even at that time.
