The latest controversies prompted UGC to publish a press release on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday. Several people had complained of bedbug bites, targeting in particular the cinemas of UGC Bercy (12th arrondissement of Paris).
In this press release, the UGC Bercy explains that the cinema followed the emergency procedure after each report from spectators about the presence of bedbugs. “Canine detection of the presence of bedbugs” can be read at the beginning of the procedure. “In case of confirmed presence: Complete treatment with dry steam at 180° which immediately eradicates bedbugs. Validation of the efficacy of the treatment by a new canine control. »
In the event of a sting, the UGC offers spectators that “each cinema director contacts a client who asks us about the subject. “, the cinema says it is “sincerely sorry for all the victims of bed bug bites”, adding that “all places open to the public being affected by this situation”.
This statement comes after the message of a regular UGC bitten by bedbugs.
The case had grown, especially with the proliferation of testimonies targeting the UGC Bercy cinema.
