Eleven people were taken to a hospital after falling ill from a stinky refrigerator, police in Kentucky said.

Lexington police said that movers accidentally left the refrigerator at the University of Kentucky, instead of taking it away with the trash.

The incident unfolded on Wednesday, after the eleven people were exposed to chemicals in the Dimock Animal Pathology building.

University officials said the refrigerator came from the Gluck Equine Research Center. At first, the victims complained of minor irritation to the skin and eyes and a little nausea.

Later, the victims became very ill and were taken to a nearby hospital. Firefighters evacuated the building and kept people away from the area as a precaution.

The smell was believed to have been caused by a chemical residue left by something that had been inside the refrigerator. The building was decontaminated before being reopened on Wednesday afternoon.
