Santa Clara County isn't waffling on this punishment.
Eggo must l’Eggo of tens of thousands of dollars to Santa Clara County, nearly two years after it emitted toxic gas from its San Jose plant.
About 3,400 pounds of ammonia leaked into the nearby neighborhood along Highway 101 just north of the Julian/McKee exit, forcing residents to shelter in place for hours on Jan. 22, 2021. No injuries were reported, although the gas is known in high concentrations to cause irritation and serious burns on the skin and in the mouth, throat, lungs and eyes.
The Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office said Eggo upgraded “its systems and procedures to prevent future releases” in cooperation with regulators.
