Investigation Summary
On May 31, Employees #1 through #5, material handlers, were sent to the hospital suffering from asthma-like conditions. These symptoms occurred an hour after an injection mold machine overheated, causing a smoke cloud to rise in the center of the plant. The mold injection machine was molding styrene on the opposite side of the building from the material handling area.
