False alarm: A suspicious substance that prompted the evacuation of a northeastern Alabama post office last week was KY Intense Arousal gel Gel leak: Officials at the local post office in Guntersville, Alabama, say the gel leaked from a package and had spread to between 12 and 15 others Thursday morning

The discovery sent the office’s staff into a complete frenzy as the gel leak was initially characterized as a chemical spill.



Two post office workers were hospitalized as a precaution after they came into contact with the gel and were not injured, according to local NBC news affiliate WAFF .

Officials now say the gel is made with non-hazardous chemicals that are intended to intensify sensation.



USPS Postal Inspector Tony Robinson says the packages were addressed to someone in the ‘entertainment industry’ and the person’s name has not been released, the Associated Press reported.



Robinson says the postal service will contact the sender and tell them how to better pack their parcels to prevent future spills.
