Carrefour China managers jailed for stampede

According to reports in the state press, a Chinese court yesterday sentenced two former managers of a Carrefour store to prison for safety lapses that led to a deadly stampede in southwest China last year. The court found the two store safety managers culpable for a major accident when three people were killed in a stampede of customers into one of the retailer’s stores in Chongqing.
