China is again quaking in its seats after being shaken by yet another incident of a randomly exploding chair horribly maiming the poor unfortunate sat upon it.

The incident occurred in a Fujian province apartment one evening after its female resident finished showering and took a seat to dry her hair. 30 seconds after taking a seat, the chair’s gas cylinder exploded with devastating force, severely injuring her backside, anus and vagina.

She was hospitalised and a number of operations were necessary to completely remove all the iron fragments and screws which had been embedded in her body by the explosion.

The force of the explosion was so great the wood and sponge of the chair’s seat was completely shredded, and the PC on the desk it was placed under was sent flying.

China’s exploding chair incidents have become distressingly frequent in recent years, with some even proving fatal.


Dang... First, it was a child, and now a woman. I'm lucky I sit on the floor.

Either the produced chairs are not well made, or China just happen to be the country were these incidents happen because such a large amount of people live there compared to EU or USA for example. I beat we'll have 1 in the USA in not too long with president speech!

they really need to have some sort of quality control liability and go sue the company that made the chair - this is what lawyers should be working on instead of pointless patent lawsuits

edit:
allow me to define pointless in this context: patents that describe vague, essential ways that a product looks or functions, which are very hard to identify/enforce due to their loose definitions, but give lawyers a field day over how it could be interpreted

I always thought it was gas canisters that made chairs able to go up and down O_O

Ohhh, a whirly chair. I'm back on track now, I kept envisioning a real piece of furniture. Cool. Thanks for clarifying.

I wonder how many more cases of this have happened since this news in 2012? :)
