Several vials labeled "smallpox" have been found at a Merck facility in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Tuesday.
"There is no indication that anyone has been exposed to the small number of frozen vials," the CDC said in a statement emailed to Action News.
"The frozen vials labeled 'Smallpox' were incidentally discovered by a laboratory worker while cleaning out a freezer in a facility that conducts vaccine research in Pennsylvania. CDC, its Administration partners, and law enforcement are investigating the matter and the vials' contents appear intact," the CDC added.
"The laboratory worker who discovered the vials was wearing gloves and a face mask. We will provide further details as they are available."
