ANAHEIM, CA \u2014 Seven Disneyland cast members were hospitalized Tuesday afternoon after an odor was reported in a backstage area.<\/p>\n
Anaheim Fire and Rescue personnel responded to the theme park around 12:30 p.m. following reports of an unknown smell, police said.<\/p>\n
The seven employees were transported to the hospital for minor injuries ranging from dizziness to shortness of breath, said Sgt. Matt Sutter of Anaheim Police Department.<\/p>\n
The cause of the odor was determined to be building contractor materials, Sutter said.<\/p>\n
Disneyland officials said building materials being used by a contractor produced a reaction backstage at the theme park, and the area was examined by response teams. Several cast members were treated on-site by paramedics and released; and seven cast members experiencing dizziness and shortness of breath were transported to local hospitals. <\/p>\n
The odor was reported in a backstage area at the park. Tomorrowland was the closest attraction to the area where the odor was reported, officials said.<\/p>\n
Out of an abundance of caution, adjacent onstage areas were cleared of guests and are expected to reopen soon, Disneyland official said.<\/p>\n
First responders were leaving the scene around 4 p.m., police said.<\/p>\n
