Recently, terms such as "Three-year-old child drinks pearl milk tea" and "Store responds that boy suffocated after drinking pearl milk tea" have hit the hot searches on Weibo, arousing widespread attention and discussion from all walks of life.

Jiupai News, Zhongan Online and other media reported that the incident occurred on the afternoon of October 19, when a 4-year-old boy from Taizhou, Zhejiang Province, led by his parents, went to Baolong Square in Duqiao. His mother bought a cup of pearl milk tea at a Guming milk tea shop and took it to the Children's Naughty Castle Playground.

After that, the child was thirsty, so he drank pearl milk tea. After drinking it, he went to the trampoline area to play. After a while, the child's mother, reminded by other playing children, rushed to the child who was feeling unwell in about a minute and immediately gave him first aid. Then, with the assistance of the staff, she sent the child to the hospital for emergency treatment.

Regrettably, the child who choked on the backflow of pearls in the milk tea died of suffocation after 1.5 hours of rescue. After the incident, the distressed parents carried out multiple rights protection and posted multiple videos on social platforms. Three of the videos question the product of pearl milk tea. They believe that the pearl size in milk tea is too large and sticky, which is the main cause of children's suffocation and death, and require the milk tea shop to bear corresponding responsibilities.

At the same time, parents questioned that Guming stores selling pearl milk tea did not post obvious notices, and staff did not verbally inform consumers of the risks of not allowing children to eat pearl milk tea. In addition, parents claimed that the playground did not stop parents from bringing pearl milk tea into the venue, and that the mall had no relevant emergency response plans. They believed that the venue had not fulfilled its due responsibilities, so that children could not receive timely assistance after encountering unexpected situations in the playground.

On the morning of October 24, a media reporter contacted the playground involved. The staff said that she was not at the scene on the day of the incident and was unclear about the specific handling situation, and it was inconvenient to provide the contact information of the person in charge of the store.

The relevant person in charge of Baolong Square in Duqiao said that after the incident, the town government and the police station have intervened and are coordinating the matter. The shopping mall is actively cooperating with the investigation. Relevant surveillance videos have been handed over to the police, but the specific progress of the handling is inconvenient. Disclosure of specific circumstances may be reported later.

The reporter noticed that on the ordering Mini programs of milk tea brands involved, pearl milk tea products are marked with "Warm Tips", reminding that "infants under the age of three should not drink, and the elderly and children need to drink under supervision."

According to people familiar with the matter, parents placed orders through Mini programs on the day of the incident. The latter adult came to the store to pick up the meal. The clerk did not see the children. The milk tea shop only learned about the situation after the children had problems. The reporter contacted the milk tea shop involved, and a staff member said that the company was now handling the matter.

At noon today, The Paper News disclosed the latest developments of the incident. The report said that it had been learned from relevant departments in Duqiao Town, Linhai, Taizhou that as soon as possible after the incident on the 19th, the police station in the jurisdiction had intervened, and various township departments also dispatched personnel to form a special mediation team. However, parents had experienced emotional ups and downs, so no progress has been made in the previous two rounds of mediation work, and the third round of mediation will be held on the 25th.

Staff from relevant departments said that parents 'emotions have stabilized at present, and some psychological counseling has also been provided to parents during the mediation process. Relevant departments will actively coordinate and coordinate to resolve the matter as soon as possible.
