Chemical accident at Disneyland sends worker to hospital

A cleaning supplies mix-up backstage at Disneyland sent a park worker to the hospital early Thursday morning.

Anaheim police spokesman Sgt. Jon McClintock said paramedics were called to the scene shortly after 2am after receiving a report of a chemical accident. A Disneyland official said the incident occurred when “a small amount of cleaning products” came into contact with each other.

One custodial worker was treated briefly at UC Irvine Medical Center in Orange out of “an abundance of caution” and released, McClintock said. He said another worker was treated at the park.

The incident occurred after the park closed for the night and in an area accessible only to employees. No guests were affected, the Disneyland official said.
