The facility at 4200 S. County Road 25A was evacuated, and the Miami County Hazardous Material Team responded. The chemical spill was contained at 2:09 a.m. Friday, Haller said in a release.
“The cause of the incident is unintentional. The chemicals mixed due to their containers being punctured in the automated packing process. The toilet bowl cleaner was damaged first and then then the bleach container was damaged causing the chemicals to mix. The personnel that attempted to clean the spill became the patients,” Haller said.
The three workers, one who also suffered a chemical burn, were decontaminated and taken by medics to a local hospital.
Crews were on scene for approximately five hours, and no first responders were injured or suffered illness, Haller said.
