Nongfu Spring, a major Chinese producer of bottled water, on Sunday dismissed claims that worm eggs were discovered in some of its products.

"It never happened. The worm eggs were actually on the outside of the bottles, not the inside," the company said in an e-mail statement to the media.

It was responding to claims by a shopkeeper, Li Xiru, and one of her customers that when they opened some bottles on Thursday they found small eggs inside the screw caps.

The customer Li Zhenwu said his 12-year-old son vomited and suffered diarrhea after drinking the water, and demanded compensation.

However, the statement said that reports about how the consumer complained and would be compensated were incorrect: "He (Li Zhenwu) asked for 10,000 yuan ($1,550) in compensation, which is obviously unreasonable."

Li Zhenwu and his son Li Jiabao went to Li Xiru's shop in Tongzhou district on Thursday evening after finding the worm eggs in the bottle caps.

"We bought three 550-ml bottles of (Nongfu Spring) water that afternoon," said Li Zhenwu, who recalled his son screaming after swallowing a mouthful of water and seeing eggs in the cap.

"The cream-colored eggs were as big as sesame seeds. The water delivery workers came to the shop, opened another five bottles and we saw eggs in the caps of three bottles," said the angry father.

Doctors later diagnosed the boy as having acute enteritis.

Questions:

1. What is the name of the water company involved?

2. What did the customer claim they found the in screw taps?

3. What was the boy diagnosed with?

Answers:

1. Nongfu

2. worm eggs

3. acute enteritis
