Narrative

A CLEANING AGENT WAS USED ON OVENS THAT BECAME TOXIC WITH FUMES AND SMOKE ONCE OVENS WERE TURNED ON. THE SMELL WAS 'EXTREMELY PWRFUL' BEFORE OVENS WERE TURNED ON -- WHICH BECAME SMOKY ONCE OVENS WERE 'ON' AND 'HEATING;' CREATING NAUSEA; FATIGUE; HEADACHE; AS WELL AS A FEELING OF HVY BREATHING DUE TO THE INHALATION OF 'SMELL AND SMOKE.' ALL CLEANING AGENTS SHOULD BE CHKED BEFORE BEING USED ON THESE OVENS. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: RPTR STATES THAT THE FLT DIVERTED TO RDU INSTEAD OF CONTINUING TO DCA AS SCHEDULED. THE FLT ATTENDANTS WERE TAKEN DIRECTLY TO THE HOSPITAL. THERE WERE NO LONG TERM EFFECTS AND THE RPTR WAS BACK TO WORK AGAIN AFTER A 48 HR RECOVERY. SEVERAL DIFFERENT BASES WERE CHKED TO DETERMINE WHAT KIND OF CLEANING AGENTS ARE USED. SOME OF THE BASES USE ONLY SOAP AND WATER; OTHERS USE A VARIETY OF CLEANING AGENTS. THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND OUT JUST WHAT WAS USED IN THESE OVENS. RPTR BELIEVES THIS ACFT HAD COME FROM CANCUN. THE COMPANY IS AWARE AND HOPEFULLY WILL FOLLOW UP.
