4:32 pm
and blew up their suicide vests. this place, this country, the city of lights, has become a city of memorials, of candlelights, of torches. people are still coming to the terms that the city was attacked, they worry that it could get attacked again. >> our challenge is to stop the immediate threat, obviously, and destroy it. >> reporter: french officials have said that isis carried it out and they think that isis is not over, that it wants to continue a wave of international level attacks like the one we saw here in france. richard engel, nbc news, paris. now to an nbc 10 investigation, a well known company is looking into claims that some of their water cooler containers were used to handle a toxic chemical and then returned to the company for refilling. >> harry hairston has been looking into these allegations, he joins us with the details now. what's this all about, harry? >> well, keith and jacqueline, we are talking about deer park

4:34 pm
how many bottles are you using? >> at least eight to nine a day, if not more. >> reporter: four of his coworkers are the ones suing american airlines. the suit says, "the practice of poisoning deer park five-gallon jugs was created all so american airlines did not have to spend money fixing broken valves and other parts." it also states the practice is, "threatening the public health and welfare." >> we constantly smell it, constantly in your nose, gives you a headache. >> reporter: these came from the employees break room, he tells us the airport workers did not clean the bottles after they poured the chemicals out. they returned them to the break room to be picked up for reuse by deer park. according to doctors we spoke with, the chemical can cause eye, skin, and lung irritation. along with the blue toilet deodorant, the chemical is also found in some cosmetic products. we reached out to american airlines for a comment on both the intake devices and the use of the chemical in the deer park
4:35 pm
jugs. by e-mail the company says in part it's taking the allegations seriously and, "will fully investigate these latest accusations." the company also tells us, "we have agreed to suspend our water delivery service while we investigate." >> kind of shocked to see that people would treat it that way. >> reporter: we showed deer park's quality control manager the airline workers photos and asked if any of the bottles could have made it to new customers. >> i've never seen that bottle returned here, but i have confidence that if it did, it would never make it through this process. >> reporter: not a one? >> not a one. >> reporter: deer park tells us once it learned about the allegations, they tested their inspection and cleaning system. >> we purchase some of the same material, the same blue liquid, we made those solutions up, even up to ten times stronger, put them in our bottles in a test environment. >> reporter: there was no trace of the chemical left in the bottles. we asked deer park to show us their testing process on camera.
4:36 pm
they declined, citing security reasons. are you still investigating the allegation? >> i can't comment on the -- yes, of course we're investigating. there's still more to learn. >> reporter: the airline workers we spoke with say they are still filling toilets the same way, but american airlines has them using different plastic jugs. for the investigators, harry hairston, nbc 10 news. >> harry, thank you. next on nbc 10 news at 4:00, charlie sheen comes clean. >> i released myself from this prison today. >> and today the actor revealed he has hiv. we ask experts if his admission could help others battling the disease. and certainly still colder today, but the warmer temperatures are going to return, along with some heavy rain. take a closer look at the timing next on nbc 10 news at 4:00.
