March 3, 2008 Middleton, NH -- A New Hampshire mother says a group of children who spent the day at CoCo Key Water Park ended up in the hospital with chemical burns caused by the chlorine, a claim the owners of the new attraction deny.
The children spent two days and one night at the Sheraton Ferncroft Resort in Danvers with a group of friends on a Girl Scout trip.
Kristen Baker of Litchfield, N.H., which is about 10 miles north of Nashua, did not accompany her children but said she was horrified to see them when they returned Friday night.
"When she walked in the door she -- oh my God -- she was bright red like a really bad sunburn," Baker said.
Her 11-year-old daughter, Emily, had burns more severe than her 9-year-old brother, Austin, but both had burns so bad it hurt to have clothes on, she said.
Baker claimed the hotel had dangerous levels of chlorine in pools and spas at CoCo Key. The hotel denied the levels were unsafe...The Eagle Tribune
