Yahoo: Rotten office fridge cleanup sends 7 to hospital

SAN JOSE, Calif. – An office worker cleaning a fridge full of rotten food created a smell so noxious that it sent
seven co-workers to the hospital and made many others ill. Firefighters had to evacuate the AT&T building in
downtown San Jose on Tuesday, after the flagrant fumes prompted someone to call 911. A hazmat team was
called in.

What they found was an unplugged refrigerator that had been crammed with moldy food.

Authorities said the worker who cleaned the fridge didn't need treatment — she can't smell because of allergies.
