Investigation Summary
On June 27, 2011, Employee #1 obtained a container from the bird wash station. He thought the container held diluted sodium hypochlorite. He did not read the label, which indicated that it contained FreshFX, an acid. As Employee #1 filled the container with sodium hypochlorite, a green gas formed over the container. The sodium hypochlorite pump was then shut off from outside of the facility, and the facility was evacuated. No injuries were reported.
