Hotpot chain compensates diners after teenagers urinate in soup

China's biggest hotpot chain Haidilao has offered to compensate more than 4,000 diners who visited one of its Shanghai branches, where two teens urinated into their hotpot broth.

A video of the boys peeing into their broth pot while dining in a private room was widely shared online last month. It is not clear who might have filmed the incident.

Police said the 17-year-olds, who were drunk at the time, were detained soon after the incident.

There is no suggestion anyone consumed the affected broth. Haidilao has apologised to customers, saying it has replaced all hotpot equipment and dining utensils, as well as disinfecting other crockery and utensils.

The incident happened late in February, though the company's management only found out about it days later, after videos circulated on social media.

Haidilao said the staff on duty at the time had failed to stop the teens.

It took another week to find out which outlet it was, the company said, as it has dozens of outlets in the city.

Diners in Haidilao use their own personal hotpot equipment to cook their food, and broths are not re-used again for other customers. However, it is unclear in this case if the hotpot in question was thoroughly cleaned and disinfected before it was used by the next customer.

But the same low life caliper.

Ick, hot pot. No thanks. As if your tablemates have washed their hands after peeing or pooping. I don’t care how hot the broth gets.

“Madonna says her urine is sterile”

The urine of a healthy person is sterile.

Being that it is china, I would hope they were appropriately punished to others think twice before doing this. Caning, imprisonment, death penalty - doesn’t matter to me. I am sick of these losers destroying life for others.

That human garbage, Johnny Somali, is a good example as to why it is wise to cut it off at the root.

Ah well. I am all in on their food then as long as they keep including the "gutter oil" in their cooking!

It is what people want! It has electrolytes!

Removal of penis with a dull knife without anesthesia sounds like an appropriate punishment.

America stands for freedom
but if you think you’re free
try walking into a deli
