One witness told local media: “I went to McDonald’s today and part of the PlayPlace collapsed.
“Several children were injured and they even had to be taken away in an ambulance.”
It happened at a McDonald’s in Benito Juárez in the Mexican capital, Mexico City, on Sunday (21 Jul).
The emergency services arrived at the fast-food restaurant to deal with the injured minors and cordoned off the play area.
Benito Juárez mayor Jaime Mata Salas ordered a full inspection of the establishment to guarantee the safety of young customers, as reported by Need To Know.
A spokesperson for McDonald’s Mexico said: “We deeply regret this incident.
“From the moment the events occurred, the restaurant’s team immediately activated our safety protocols.
“At all times, we accompanied and supported the families, which we will continue to do until the six children have fully recovered.
“Five of them have already been discharged and one girl remains under observation.
“We are focusing all our efforts on assisting the families and reinforcing our security protocols in the play areas to ensure that a similar situation does not happen again.”
