SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) - Think your office fridge smells bad?

Seven people in Northern California were sent to a hospital because of noxious fumes from the clean-up of a refrigerator full of rotten
food. Firefighters had to evacuate the AT&T building in downtown San Jose yesterday. The hazmat team was even called in.

Food had been crammed into an unplugged fridge, so one of the workers decided to clean it out. The combination of cleaning chemicals and
rotting lunches caused nearly 30 people to suffer vomiting and nausea.

But authorities say the woman who did the actually cleaning wasn't overcome. It seems she suffers from allergies and didn't
smell a thing.
