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.

Chinese hotpot giant Haidilao has offered to compensate over 4,000 diners after two teenagers allegedly urinated in broth at its outlet in Shanghai. Haidilao confirmed the offer after a video of two men urinating into their hotpot broth while dining in a private room surfaced online late last month.

Haidilao has apologised to customers, saying the staff on duty had failed to stop the teens. The company's management only found out about the incident four days later, through videos that had been circulating on social media.
