Yes, a CHAIR exploded

No, it doesn’t deal with any murder intended case. It is about China and its stereotype of producing fake and cheap products. A woman was sitting in front of her computer drying her hair when unexpectedly, the chair exploded. Thick iron springs and scattered screws were sent to her lower body. The woman’s intestines and vagina were pierced by a steel rod.  Apparently, there has already been several similar cases such as in 2008 when a chair exploded and hit the ceiling and in 2009 when a exploding chair killed a 14-year old boy.

Chinese manufacturers lower their cost by filling the chairs with pressured air, which was likely the cause of the explosion. It is almost impossible to control the massive amount of suppliers’ quality at the time of production. Yet, the government can implement strategies to supervise the suppliers. Sudden human protection teams can pop up to strictly check the processes taken to produce a certain a product. If the supplier fails to pass certain requirements, the company should be fine in the first warning and in the second, it should be shut down. The Chinese government has to create a sense of fear in the suppliers.
