Chemical Mishap at Great Wolf Lodge Opening Sends 16 to Hospital

Improperly mixed pool chemicals led to hazardous exposure in a separate building at the new Texas resort.

A third-party contractor mistakenly mixed sodium hypochlorite and sulfuric acid, creating a toxic reaction.
The incident occurred in an isolated area, not affecting the hotel or water park operations.
Sixteen workers were hospitalized but have since been released after treatment and decontamination.
The resort is collaborating with environmental experts to ensure safe cleanup and prevent future incidents.
Great Wolf Lodge has implemented stricter safety measures for handling pool chemicals.
