The city of Irwindale filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court Monday asking a judge to stop production at the Huy Fong Foods factory, claiming the chili odor emanating from the plant is a public nuisance.

City officials say residents have been complaining of burning eyes, irritated throats and headaches and that some people have had to leave their house to escape the smell.

I love sriracha, but I can understand how terrible it would be. If there chili vapors are leaking from the plant, that can cause serious nose ear and eye irritation. Delicious sauce, though. I put that stuff on everything.
