To the woman's eyeball rupture! Manufacturer's response: Or related to this reason, well-known brand soda suddenly exploded
On August 21st, Ms. Wang, a netizen from Yangzhou, Jiangsu, posted that she had purchased soda online at a comprehensive supermarket and when she received it and put it in the refrigerator, the soda suddenly exploded, injuring her right eye.
According to the text and images, the explosive was a glass bottle of soda from a large kiln. In the photo, the bottle had already shattered, and one image suspected of being a diagnostic proof showed that the patient's right eye had ruptured. The condition was severe and the prognosis was poor, requiring emergency hospitalization for repair of the right eye rupture. Multiple surgeries were required, and the risk of postoperative infection and bleeding was high.
On the afternoon of August 21st, Ms. Wang, the person involved, told a reporter from Xiaoxiang Morning News that she planned to make lunch at noon on August 16th. She bought groceries and five bottles of Da Yao soda from an online supermarket. "The rider brought me home at 11:30, but there was no delay in bringing it from the door to the kitchen. She put it on the ground and opened the bag, ready to take out the drink and put it in the refrigerator. With a loud bang, one bottle exploded, and then quickly took a taxi to the hospital. At 12:19, she was officially admitted and underwent over five hours of surgery on the same day."
Ms. Wang said that on the second day after the incident, she reported to the police and found out about the situation at the local distributor of Dayao Soda. She said she would provide feedback to the company headquarters. On August 22nd, Ms. Wang underwent her second surgery on her eyes.
On the evening of August 21st, a reporter from Xiaoxiang Morning News learned from the staff of a public relations company that Dayao Soda has paid attention to this matter. The regional manager has now contacted consumers to express condolences and communication, hoping that the consumer's injury can be treated and recovered as soon as possible. "There were many unclear aspects during the process, which may also be related to the impact of alternating cold and hot on the glass bottle." He said he will verify and understand the specific situation as soon as possible. If it is a problem with the company's products, he will definitely make a formal apology and response.
On August 22nd, the public relations officer stated that local colleagues had accompanied consumers during surgery, provided humanitarian assistance, and would maintain communication with patients and their families.
