DORAL, Fla. – Nearly a dozen people were hospitalized Sunday after a carbon monoxide leak at a meal delivery company in Doral.

After the exhaust fan system over a stove started making strange noises, an employee shut it off, allowing the dangerous carbon monoxide fumes to build.
Firefighters said carbon monoxide levels were high when they arrived.
A total of 11 people were taken to various hospitals. They are expected to be OK.
The business was closed for the remainder of the day after the building was deemed "unfit for human habitation."
Shape Lovers, which advertises providing low-calorie, gourmet meals, told customers that it was forced to "stop cooking operations" because of an equipment issue.
The next building inspection is scheduled for Monday.
