Samsung has suffered a second toxic gas leak this year at its semiconductor plant in Hwaseong, Korea. Yonhap News reports that the poisonous hydrofluoric acid gas injured three workers, coming just three months after a leak of the same substance caused a fatality at the same factory. Details surrounding the second leak are scarce, but Samsung is already the subject of an investigation by Korean police for attempting to cover up details of the original incident, as well as lying about its containment. Samsung escaped with a $1,000 fine, but with safety practices already under scrutiny, Korean authorities may be forced to take a harder approach this time around.
