Carbon dioxide accident in the supermarket: 15 people in the hospital!

In Bad Salzdetfurth, a quiet town in the Hildesheim district, worrying incidents took place in a local supermarket. Around 15 people had to be hospitalized due to carbon dioxide exposure. This was caused by a leak during maintenance work on the freezers, as reported by sueddeutsche.de.

Those affected include both customers and employees of the supermarket and the maintenance company. The fire brigade quickly arrived and ventilated the affected area to defuse the dangerous situation. Those examined were found to have elevated levels of carbon dioxide in their blood, highlighting the health concerns.

Medical examinations and police investigations

The police have now launched an investigation into negligent bodily harm. It remains unclear exactly how much carbon dioxide was released and how many customers were in the supermarket at the time. A comprehensive investigation should clarify the causes of the incident and uncover possible errors.

These incidents also highlight the safety standards in such facilities. Customers and employees expect safe operations and must be confident that all safety precautions are being taken.
