#  Sober hazmat!

 Written on 22 December 2025.

Seventeen people were affected by an “unknown substance” that brought Hamzat crews to a sober living and recovery home in LA, authorities said. Six people were taken to receive medical attention in connection with the incident, with two transported before the situation was declared a hazmat incident. 11 others who had been exposed were decontaminated and released at the scene. At the time of reporting the substance had not been identified and further searches have not revealed any more news reports.
