At least three people suffered chemical burns at an Ikea in the Netherlands after the contents of a hand sanitizer bottle were replaced with drain cleaner.

Police say a cleaning woman who was not a native Dutch speaker made the swap accidentally, according to NOS.

IKEAs across the Netherlands closed voluntarily in response to the coronavirus pandemic. They are reopening, but allowing fewer customers inside.

Two victims have already retained the services of a personal-injury law firm, Juridisch Bureau Letselschade & Gezondheidsrecht.

1. Eeeep!

It's why I've always thought drain cleaners should have a vivid dye. Bright red, which reminds people of "caution" or "danger".
