I’ve seen some nasty refrigerators before, but that must have been REALLY bad!

The fumes were from what was used to clean the nasty 'fridge, "after an employee trying to clean a refrigerator filled with rotting food mixed two chemicals, releasing noxious fumes, authorities said." Probably mixed ammonia and chlorine.

Then it doesn't make sense that the cleaning lady didn't have to go to the hospital, whether she can smell or not. Toxic gases aren't toxic because of their smell; they have a biological effect.
