As a part of the catering industry, what safety hazards may exist in coffee shops in addition to preventing food safety problems? Recently, consumers have been hit by chandeliers in coffee shops.

According to Xiaoxiang Morning Post, on May 23, a man talked with people at a coffee shop in Changsha's Kaifu District. When he got up from his seat, he didn't notice the large crystal chandelier directly above the table and his head hit it. Then he touched it with his hand and found that it was bleeding, so he rushed to see a doctor.

After the incident, the man and his wife contacted the head of the coffee shop as soon as possible to negotiate compensation for the injury. At first, the store informed that the insurance process could be followed and that the party concerned was required to issue proof of income flow. However, when they provided income flow, they were told the next day that they could not take insurance, and the store said they were willing to pay 1000 yuan in compensation. The couple couldn't understand and informed each other that they disagreed with the settlement.

Speaking of the coffee shop chandelier that caused the man's injury, his wife said,"The next day, I went to the store and found that the distance between some chandeliers and tables was still too low, and the staff still didn't rectify it." In addition, Man Coffee has several branches in Changsha, and all of them are decorated in this style, so it is necessary for the store to rectify such safety hazards as soon as possible.

On May 25, Xiaoxiang Morning News reporter accompanied the couple to the coffee shop, and the scene restored the incident process. "Because this table can be moved. If the chandelier is right above your head, it's easy to hit your head when you stand up." Ms. Liu also walked a few times in the aisle."I've hit (lights) twice in just a few meters."

In the face of everyone's doubts about the safety hazards of the chandeliers in the store, the relevant person in charge of the coffee shop said,"These lamps have lighting and aesthetic effects, and some of the lower lights have been adjusted once." The position of the light fixture can only be adjusted at night by the engineering department staff."The engineering department has their standards and will adjust the position until there is no safety hazard." As for why not take insurance, the store said that because the man's medical expenses did not reach the minimum payment standard of 500 yuan, so he could not take insurance.

After the reporter's intervention, the two sides continued to negotiate, and the store finally agreed to compensate 2000 yuan for the two people, and promised to inform them of the rectified store environment in the form of pictures and videos.

In this case, lawyers say both stores and customers are responsible. Stores cannot install chandeliers illegally, and customers also have the obligation to protect their own safety.

According to relevant standards, the general indoor installation of chandeliers should not be lower than 1.8 meters from the ground, otherwise there will be violations. If the consumer is injured as a result, he/she shall be liable for fault compensation. Consumers also have the obligation to pay attention to protecting their own safety, and they should also bear certain responsibilities for injuries caused by their own reasons. Both parties may negotiate to settle compensation matters. If negotiation fails, they may sue to the court, and the court shall divide the responsibilities and bear the losses according to the size of the fault of both parties.
