I did not understand how much that kind of thing can spread, so we had to discard a bit more than what I had thought from the beginning, says store manager Mikael Persson to the radio.

In Ölandsbladet he describes the scene that met him after the explosion:

The floor, the cartons and the walls looked like they were a used outhouse.

The store is sanitized and open as usual again, but the range is slightly more limited than usual, according to Persson.

There are certain types that took more damage than others and that we have not had time to get home, he says to the radio.

No one was injured in connection with the feces explosion, but one of the staff was unfortunate.

The person is back at work, but still a bit shaken.
