Narrative:
I had a passenger go through security in orlando with a bottle of tilex. Passenger then boarded aircraft and placed carry on bag in overhead compartment. The tilex bottle opened and spilled all its liquid in the compartment. One passenger was burned on his shoulder from the leakage of liquid from the compartment. One F/a suffering from previous bronchitis inhaled fumes and had to be taken to the hospital. I, as senior F/a, inhaled fumes mopping up excess liquid and became ill and had a migraine headache. Other F/a's also experienced bad headaches. I consider liquid of this nature as a weapon because if thrown in my face it could blind me. The next day on flight mco-phl a passenger boarded with a plastic coke bottle filled with clorox. My incident was written on facts report and sent to air carrier in-flight services. I would like to see these types of liquids banned on board aircraft as a result of my incident.
