PHOENIX -- Two people were taken to the hospital Monday after a chemical spill at a Phoenix business.

Phoenix Fire Department spokesperson Jonathan Jacobs said crews were called to Angelica's Textile Services near 51st Avenue and Buckeye Road around 4 p.m.

Jacobs said five gallons of formic acid, used for cleaning, spilled, contaminating two people.

The two women, both in their 30s, were transported to Good Samaritan in stable condition.

According to the company's website, Angelica's deals with an "array of textile rental products and services and linen management solutions to meet the needs of healthcare professionals and their patients."

Jacobs said the business was evacuated as a precaution while the spill was being cleaned up.
