Well, there ya go.
I placed a thread about this the day before Halloween concerning possibly contaminated candy.


“There’s no cause for concern or no risk from these levels,” said Judy Leon, an agency spokeswoman. Ms. Leon said the contamination was most likely the result of food contact with something like a can liner, or from some other manufacturing problems, but not from deliberate adulteration.

The statement above is blatant misdirection and bullshit. The way I understand it is the body can not rid itself of melamine. Any level of contamination stays with you period... until it reaches a fatal amount. The stuff is here and it will continue to be used.
I couldn't find my other thread that contained a video about this.

Melamine foam such as Magic Erasers are used to clean the processing equipment. I'll bet they aren't rinsing it off thoroughly. Melamine makers claim it's safe to use on surfaces that come into contact with food but only if it's rinsed VERY well.

They are picking a bad time to be neglecting their rinsing duties then.
Its not that I don't believe you but I'm not buying it.

No seriously... I am not drinking any more infant formula period as long as I live.
