3 Shoppers Hurt After Party City Shelves Fall Like Dominoes
That’s the lesson to be learned from an incident inside a Boca Raton, FL, Party City store, where at least three people were injured after seven aisles of store shelves collapsed this morning.
WPTV reports that the three people suffered only minor injuries. Firefighters and sheriff’s office personnel did a search with rescue dogs to see if anyone was trapped in the calamity, but thankfully no one else was caught among the downed shelves and the resulting avalanche of party products.
As of now, there is no explanation for what caused the shelves to collapse.
“We’re looking into the situation to pinpoint the exact cause, and the store remains closed at this time,” says Party City in a statement.
