An 8-year-old child was accidentally scalded by pipping-hot coffee when she collided with a customer in a Cafe de Coral branch in Tsueng Kwan O Friday night, with the father hunting for the woman who caused the daughter's injuries. The incident occurred at Choi Ming Shopping Centre and was reported to the police by the grandmother. The hot coffee was splashed all over the head of the girl, causing second-degree burns on her forehead, face and arms. The girl was taken to the Tsueng Kwan O Hospital on the night and currently stays at Hong Kong Children's Hospital for medical attention. Cafe-de-Carol stated that they are saddened by the incident and have maintained contact with the affected family.
