Directoare de grădiniță, condamnată la închisoare pe viață. Peste 200 de copii au fost intoxicați cu plumb • Newsweek România

A kindergarten director in China was sentenced to life imprisonment after over 200 children were poisoned with lead due to the use of non-edible paint in food preparation. The investigation revealed that staff used this toxic paint to enhance the appearance of meals, leading to dangerously high lead levels in the children's blood. The director, Li Huifang, and several others were convicted for producing and selling harmful food. The case prompted new national regulations on food safety in educational institutions, emphasizing the need for strict testing and centralized procurement of food supplies. Lead exposure poses significant health risks, particularly for children's brain development.
