Sei persone sono state portate in ospedale e le squadre dei materiali pericolosi sono state chiamate dopo che i dipendenti hanno segnalato un odore sconosciuto in un centro logistico Amazon a Eastvale, California, la società ha detto alla CNN.
Più di 100 employees were evacuated from the building on Saturday around 5:30 p.m. (8:30 p.m. E) while the hazmat teams checked the facility, la società ha detto.
The hazmat teams did not find anything dangerous and allowed employees to return to the building within an hour, Amazon said.
“We evacuated our building today out of an abundance of caution,” said Amazon spokeswoman Lisa Levandowski in statement emailed to CNN. “The safety of our employees and delivery partners is our top priority. We appreciate all the efforts of our local first responders today.”
Six employees reported not feeling well and were taken to a local hospital, according to Amazon. They are doing fine, la società ha detto.
As a precaution, Amazon turned off the air conditioning units at the facility. It is investigating the cause of the odor, ha detto.
Eastvale is located in Riverside County about 50 miles east of downtown Los Angeles.
