Lunch hour got off to an early start for Paprican employees on April 26th. A chemical spill resulted in the prompt evacuation of 240 people working in the building, after an employee driving a fork-lift accidentally pierced a hole through a container of disodium sulfate in the warehouse. Although the spill imposed no veritable danger, the police and fire department were called as a safety precaution. Employees were permitted to reenter the building roughly an hour later when a cleanup crew was dispatched to clean up the spill.
