A robot punctured a can of bear spray. Now 24 Amazon workers are
Twenty-four Amazon workers in New Jersey have been hospitalized after a robot accidentally tore a can of bear repellent spray in a warehouse, officials said.
The two dozen workers were treated at five local hospitals, Robbinsville Township communications and public information officer John Nalbone told ABC News. One was in critical condition while 30 additional workers were treated at the scene.
All of the workers were expected to be released from the hospital within 24 hours, WABC reported Thursday.
The official investigation revealed "an automated machine accidentally punctured a 9-ounce bear repellent can, releasing concentrated Capsaican," Nalbone said. Capsaicin is the major ingredient in pepper spray.
The fulfillment center was given the all clear by Wednesday evening.

Wait ‘til the car IS a robot. :)
Should have invited Robot to karaoke night.

The $64,000 Question
If Amazon workers must piss in a bottle,
where do Amazon bears piss?
Going to the hospital was probably their first break all day.
Are those Amazon warehouse’s as bad as I hear? There is a huge one about four miles down the road across from Costco in Eastvale CA There must be 300 cars in their parking lot if not more.
