Stinky Fridge Sends Seven People To Hospital

You think your office fridge is a mess? At least it hasn't sent you to the hospital. The same can't be said for workers at the AT&T building in San Jose, California. When one employee decided to clean out the office fridge, the stench of rotting food was so strong that it sent seven of her colleagues to hospital. All told, 28 employees reported feeling sick and more than 325 worked were evacuated from the building.

So why did this stinky fridge do so much damage? For starters, the refrigerator full of food was unplugged and moved into a conference room. When a worker tried to clean it out, the smell of the cleaning agents mixed with the rotting food to create a super-stench that caused sent seven people to the hospital.
