CHINA will return thousands of pounds of medical equipment reportedly donated by the US Mormon church because it includes stained bedding, used surgical clothes, and expired medical equipment, a charity official said today, the Associated Press reported.
The donations came from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Salt Lake City, Utah, said a woman reached at the publicity department of China Charity, the country's largest charitable organization.
The woman confirmed a report on the Beijing News Website that said three containers of donations sent to charitable organizations in Beijing and the northern provinces of Anhui and Hebei were found to be of "questionable quality" and would be sent back.
Customs inspectors in Beijing found medical pipes that expired in 1998, dirty, mildewed sheets and used surgical gowns in one of the shipments, the newspaper said. Similarly shoddy goods were also found in the shipments sent to Anhui and Hebei, it said.
The shipment for Anhui alone totaled 926 boxes and weighed 6,910 kilograms, the newspaper said. It did not give the size of the other two shipments.
