Lawyer: Chemicals in tea caused internal damage
Aug 15, 1:35 PM (ET)
By BRADY McCOMBS
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A woman who drank sweet tea that authorities say was mistakenly mixed with a highly toxic industrial cleaning solution at a Utah restaurant has deep, ulcerated burns in her upper esophagus, a family attorney said Friday.
Jan Harding, 67, remains in critical condition at the University of Utah hospital's burn unit in Salt Lake City, lawyer Paxton Guymon said.
Doctors determined the internal damage Thursday while doing an endoscopy, which involves inserting a tube with a light and camera into a person's digestive tract. She also has severe mouth burns.
"The news was very disappointing and disheartening for the family," Guymon said in a statement. "The burns were deeper and more extensive than we had hoped."
Investigators and the restaurant manager have told the Hardings that a worker mistook the cleaning product for sugar and mixed large quantities of it into the iced-tea dispenser. The cleaning product is meant for degreasing deep fryers and contains the odorless chemical lye, the active ingredient in drain cleaners.
When ingested, the chemical starts dissolving a person's insides, said Tom Richmond, professor of chemistry at the University of Utah.
South Jordan police are still investigating how it ended up in the sweet-tea container, but they think it was accidental, police Cpl. Sam Winkler said. South Jordan is a suburb of 60,000 about 15 miles south of Salt Lake City.
Harding and her husband had just arrived at the restaurant for a relaxing lunch with friends when she filled her cup with sweet tea from a self-serve beverage station. She took one sip before spitting it out and exclaiming to her husband: "I think I just drank acid."
Investigators are reviewing video footage from inside the eatery and interviewing staff. No arrests have been made.
They have determined Harding is the only victim, Winkler said. It appears she was the first to drink the tea that day, and restaurant employees disposed of it after she was burned, he said.
John Thomson, owner of the Dickey's Barbecue South Jordan franchise, said in a statement Thursday that he's praying for Harding and cooperating with investigators. His restaurant is one of 400 Dickey's around the country in the Dallas-based chain.
Guymon said he will wait for police to finish their investigation before determining what legal action to take.
The restaurant remains open after county health officials inspected the establishment and found all chemicals properly labeled and separated from food items.

Report: CDC scientist kept quiet about flu blunder
Aug 15, 1:30 PM (ET)
By MIKE STOBBE
NEW YORK (AP) — A government scientist kept silent about a potentially dangerous lab blunder and revealed it only after workers in another lab noticed something fishy, according to an internal investigation.
The accident happened in January at the headquarters of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta. A lab scientist accidently mixed a deadly strain of bird flu with a tamer strain, and sent the mix to another CDC lab and to an outside lab in Athens, Georgia.
No one was sickened by bird flu. But unsuspecting scientists worked with the viral mix for months before it was discovered.
CDC officials have called the incident the most worrisome in a series of lab safety problems at the government agency, long regarded as one of the most respected public health agencies in the world. Earlier this summer, a lab mishandled anthrax samples and both the bird flu and anthrax labs were shut down.
"We all feel horrible this happened," said Dr. Anne Schuchat, who oversees the CDC's Influenza Division — which includes the lab where the bird flu accident took place.
Because of employee privacy rules, she said she could not name the lab scientist or the leader of the scientist's team, who were both faulted in the investigation report released Friday. She said disciplinary actions are taking place, but she did not provide any details.
CDC's release of the report is one of many signs the agency is trying to make things right, said Dr. William Schaffner, an infectious disease expert at Vanderbilt University. But he added that the CDC should at least disclose any disciplinary measures, to reassure the public that the agency is taking the matter seriously.
According to the report, the lab scientist was doing work with both bird flu strains — the deadly form and a tamer version. Lab rules call for them to be handled separately, and the tasks should take at least 90 minutes.
The CDC investigation found the work was completed in 51 minutes. That's a clear indication the scientist took short-cuts, Schuchat said.
The lab scientist told investigators that the work was done in the proper sequence, but noted being rushed to finish the job and attend a meeting. CDC officials say it's possible the scientist worked on both strains at the same time.
In February, some of the mixed virus sample was sent to another CDC lab in Atlanta. In March, a shipment of it went to a U.S. Department of Agriculture laboratory in Athens. For a study, the bird flu virus was given to chickens. The chickens died, prompting USDA staff to take a hard look at the sample and detect the deadly strain.
The USDA lab notified the CDC lab in May, and the CDC lab confirmed the finding.
But the CDC team leader didn't report what happened to supervisors or anyone else, reasoning that the viral mix was at all times contained in specialized laboratories and was never a threat to the public, the investigation report said.
CDC officials were only notified in June after the second CDC lab reported a problem with its sample. Two weeks later, CDC Director Dr. Tom Frieden was notified.
Frieden ordered the flu and anthrax labs closed, an internal review and other steps. The anthrax lab director resigned last month.

Judge accepts Microsoft antitrust settlement
By Brier Dudley
Seattle Times technology reporter
A federal judge approved Microsoft's antitrust settlement with the Department of Justice today, essentially rejecting calls by nine states for harsher sanctions on the company.
Supporters of the company hailed the ruling by U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, but the judge did close some loopholes in the settlement that will lessen Microsoft's control over the programs bundled with new Windows-based PCs.
Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates indicated that in early readings of the ruling the company did not see "anything that would be cause for an appeal."
U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft praised the ruling.
