It seems if the health dept had visited while this was going on they’d have gotten a huge ding for using a water serving pitcher to store clear cleaning fluid on the counter in the kitchen. First rule of safety make danger visually obvious.
So this was ecosan, not chlorine. I wonder if ecosan is as noticeable as chlorine? I can’t imagine taking more than one small sip of a chlorine wash, but maybe this product is less noticeable.
Sodium hypochlorite according to the SDS for ECO-SAN.
Eco-San is a specially formulated food contact surface sanitizer and destainer for use in low-temperature warewashing machines that rinses clear. Eco-San leaves dishes, flatware and glassware both sparkling and hygienically clean, as it combats a broad spectrum of organisms. A high concentration of chlorinating agent makes Eco-San suitable for use with an automatic dispensing system which is safer, more sanitary and insures the correct amount of product is being used
I run a restaurant and we never use any chemical agents for things like this. Our health inspector expressly forbids this sort of thing. Each night our nozzles are removed and placed in a container full of carbonated water. The next morning, they are washed with regular soap and water and then run though the sanitizer. It would be absolutely impossible for something like this to happen at my restaurant.
I wonder what the average household kitchen would score on a true health inspection visit.
I would probably get a B-, because one of the dogs licks the floor sometimes and the cat bats things under the stove so you never know what's under there lol!
Everybody looking for a payday...which has better odds,that or the lottery?
He has permanent damage to his throat and his gastrointestinal system, why shouldn’t he get a payday? And Its taken him eight years to get this. It’s not like it’s some instant rags to riches scheme. They knew what they did right away, because they faxed the MDS data sheet on this chemical to the hospital. It is absolutely a violation of law to keep cleaning fluid in an open pitcher. We have to have in-service is on this once a year, all chemicals must be in sealed containers and marked with what they are including warning labels.

That's how it was always done at every restaurant I've ever worked at.
Where were the state health inspectors? They are supposed to be checking for stuff like this.
I do think CB should pay this man’s medical bills at the very least. They messed up big time. And the managers of that restaurant should have been fired.

They can't be around 24/7 and you can't idiot proof everything.
I once caught an employee cleaning with a generic spray bottle instead of any one of the approved cleaning solutions we had, when I asked him what it was he told me he had mixed together several cleaners to make a 'super cleaner'. Considering some of those cleaners would take the paint off the shelves I guess I'm lucky the dummy didn't blow the whole store up.
