趁着佳节来临前,和一群朋友在家中吃火锅相聚,岂知用餐半小时后,钢化玻璃餐桌“爆炸”,火锅汤底和材料也飞溅到四处都是,不少人被玻璃割伤,还有人甚至遭到二度烫伤。 网友Stephanie Chu昨日晚上8时许,在脸书帖文,分享这可怕经历。 她指出,当时和朋友一起在家中聚餐,却没想到用餐半小时后餐桌爆炸,玻璃碎片和火锅汤及食料都撒到满地,吓得他们措手不及。 在场友人都被烫伤和玻璃碎片割伤,有的朋友伤口好似眼球般大小,而她自己也遭到二度烧伤,因此致电救护车求助,被送到黄廷芳综合医院。 “我知道桌子的钢化玻璃厚度达15毫米,即使再坚韧也可能会产生热应力,但是对于钢化玻璃的耐热度和持续时间,却没有确实的答案,所以才导致了这不幸的意外经历。” 她还列出了此事件所造成的亏损,包括新厨具、沙发和墙壁都有血迹、甚至渗入到水泥浆内、美食,还有伤者需要送院急救和复诊等。 向家具公司索赔 她感叹,原本是一场欢乐的聚会,最终却成为令人痛苦的经历,并希望她的经历能够成为钢化玻璃桌面使用者的前车之鉴。 她也表示,已经联系家具公司索赔,然而相关公司只能为他们更换一个全新的层压板桌面。虽然她不是很满意,但是她和丈夫更希望该公司能够赔偿医疗和维修费,以负起最基本的责任。 “真想知道在未来,我是否能够安心享用来自同一家公司的家具?” Stephanie表示,她和家人入住新家,家具都是全新的,准备在新屋中迎接首个农历新年,却碰上有关事件,令他们感到心中郁闷非常。…
