"The fire started around three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and it was not extinguished until six or seven o'clock in the evening, and the black smoke was thick nearby, and our shop was about 1 kilometer away from the factory, and we all smelled very pungent." A staff member of a nearby shop told the Health Times reporter. According to the information statistics released by the official website of the Nanchang Economic Development Zone, the reporter found that since the beginning of this year, more than 30 units (enterprises) in the Nanchang Economic Development Zone have been punished with administrative penalties for fire control and corresponding fines, and the reasons for the punishment are not to eliminate fire hazards in time, and the configuration/setting of fire fighting facilities/equipment does not meet the standards.
Fresenius Kabi (Nanchang) Medical Device Co., Ltd., which occurred in the accident, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fresenius Kabi, a Fortune 500 multinational company, and one of its medical device research and development and production centers in China. Fresenius Kabi (Nanchang) Medical Device Co., Ltd. was established on February 10, 2002, and its business scope includes the production and sale of medical devices.
According to Tianyancha data, on December 30, 2016, Fresenius Kabi (Nanchang) Medical Device Co., Ltd. was fined 151,000 yuan by the Nanchang Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau for "unauthorized transfer of hazardous waste".
As of press time, the reporter has repeatedly called Fresenius Kabi (Nanchang) Medical Device Co., Ltd., all of which show that it cannot be connected.
