Houston-Area Water Park Faces Lawsuit After Chemical Spill That Hospitalized 31 People
A Houston-area mother filed a lawsuit Monday after her family was injured in a chemical spill at a water park in Spring over the weekend that hospitalized more than 30 people.
The lawsuit alleges that Amanda Regulus and her three daughters — all of whom are under the age of 13 — visited Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Splashtown on Saturday and developed headaches, skin irritations, and sore throats after they came in contact with a mix of hypochlorite and sulfuric acid.
The incident occurred at around 2:30 p.m. near a children’s pool, according to Harris County officials.
Court documents say the family was not immediately evacuated from the park after being exposed to the harmful fumes, and were instead encouraged by park employees to join a promotional contest before exiting.
