Time-limited sales banned after Carrefour stampede
China has banned time-limited sales promotions in retail outlets following a stampede at a Carrefour supermarket in southwestern Chongqing Municipality that killed three and injured 31 on Saturday, according to a government circular.
The Ministry of Commerce ordered local authorities across China to overhaul safety requirements in shops to prevent similar occurences, said a statement dated Monday on its website.
"In order to eliminate safety concerns, companies are required not to organise time-limited sales promotions which may lead to traffic congestion, bodily harm and disorderly conduct," it said.
In the Saturday stampede, victims were crushed as bargain-hunters rushed to get into the French supermarket for a tenth anniversary sale.
I rushed to the oil shelf with other people and grabbed four bottles, the official China Daily quoted one shopper as saying.
Some people had begun to queue at 4 am (local time) for the five-litre oil bottles, which had been discounted by 11.5 yuan from their usual price of 51.4 yuan.
The stampede injured 31 people who were recovering well , the paper said.
Local officials have closed the store and began an investigation.
