ANAHEIM, Calif. (CNS) - A Disneyland worker was hospitalized early Thursday following a small chemical spill at the park.
Paramedics responded to the park shortly after 2 a.m. on a report of a possible hazardous materials situation and took one person to a hospital, Anaheim police Sgt. John McClintock said.
According to Jaime Clower of Disneyland Resort Public Affairs, a small amount of cleaning products were mixed together backstage.
"A small amount of cleaning products came into contact with one another early this morning backstage; and, out of an abundance of caution, the area was examined by appropriate response teams to ensure the safety of cast members," Clower said in a statement. "Guests were not impacted. One cast member involved was briefly treated at the hospital and released."
According to news gathering service OnScene.TV, hazmat teams from Metro Cities Fire Authority in Anaheim responded to the theme park and took the cast member to UCI Medical Center. A second person was treated at the scene.
