Twelve workers were using cleansing liquid, consisting primarily of sulfuric acid, to clean an ultrasonic machine on Tuesday morning at the factory in Nanshan District of Shenzhen.

Firefighters were alerted, and the blaze was soon doused.
All of the injured workers remain in hospital.
A Nanshan District Department of Work Safety official said yesterday the accident was caused because the liquid detergent detonated.
