Fumes from bathroom cleaning in Fort Worth sends 7 to hospital

Seven people were treated at a hospital this morning after a man created overpowering fumes when he mixed bleach with a cleaner to clear a bathroom drain.

The incident happened in the 1800 block of Kings Canyon Circle in Fort Worth, according to WFAA-TV. Three adults and four children had trouble breathing and were taken to the hospital.

Resident Sykea Davis told KDFW-TV that everyone in the home was doing OK and will be more careful in the future.

“We won’t mix anything else, not even peanut butter and jelly,” she told the television station.Staff Reports
