Man seeks compensation after fireworks land him in hospital
A man in Changsha, capital of Hunan province, who suffered an eye injury from fireworks, has sought compensation from the fireworks manufacturer.
Wang Kuan (alias) and his family lit firecrackers to celebrate Chinese New Year on Feb 2. One firework kept working for half an hour when it should finish within a few minutes. Worrying about his 10-year-old son who was playing around, Wang went to see what had gone wrong. Unfortunately, he was hurt and was immediately sent to a nearby hospital.
