A Hong Kong resident has been adding urine to drink bottles in stores for a year.
In Hong Kong, 63-year-old Franklin Lo Kim-ngai added his urine to drink bottles at Wellcome and PARKnSHOP stores throughout the city for a year due to a conflict with the staff of the outlets. This was reported on January 27 by the South China Morning Post newspaper.
"The Kowloon City District Court in Hong Kong heard the case of Franklin Lo Kim-ngai, 63, who expressed his dissatisfaction with store employees by mixing his urine into Coca-Cola Plus and 7-Up drinks and putting them on shelves at Wellcome and PARKnSHOP stores throughout the city from July 21, 2024 to On August 6 last year," the article says.
The newspaper writes that beverage manufacturers have been receiving calls and messages for a year that there is urine in bottles at Wellcome and PARKnSHOP stores. It is known that a nine-year-old boy was hospitalized after drinking a drink purchased at one of these stores.
It is reported that on January 27, the violator was found guilty in the case of intent to harm. The article states that such crimes in Hong Kong were previously punishable by up to three years in prison.
After the arrest on August 9, 2025, the violator stated that the reason for the violation of the law was a conflict with store staff. His lawyer also noted that the man had developed depression due to his divorce from his wife.
Earlier, a child in Moscow almost got poisoned after he took a sip of lemonade with the name Aloe Vera, bought by his father at a grocery store. Denis Sobolev, the father of the injured boy, told Izvestia on January 26 last year that the drink caused a severe burning sensation in the child's mouth immediately after consumption. He noted that the liquid in the bottle had an unpleasant chemical odor similar to acetone.
