Nothing more at Reuters website

Watch for similar reports from other American Embassies/Facilities - that will be the indicator of whether this is something serious, or just a one-off..

Here's a tiny bit more info:

(Reuters) - Three employees of the U.S. embassy in Paris were being treated for poisoning on Friday after opening mail, but there was no immediate information on the seriousness of their condition, police said. A spokesman for France's judicial police said a mobile laboratory had been deployed at the embassy to test for poisonous substances. He said that, as the incident occurred at a U.S. government building, only U.S. officials were qualified to comment. A U.S. embassy official said the building had not been evacuated but declined any further comment. (Reporting by Gerard Bon and Nicolas Bertin; Editing by David Stamp)

It was a ‘scare’. Nothing harmful in letters.

Eariler reports had US officials bending over backwards to claim the indident was nothing... I am tired of being lied to.
