SAN FRANCISCO, Jan 8 (Reuters) – Two people were hurt on

Wednesday in California in an explosion at a Bay Area

laboratory, a spokeswoman for the South San Francisco Fire

Department said.

The spokeswoman did not identify the owner of the lab,

although the San Jose Mercury News reported that it belonged to

biotech firm Amgen. A spokeswoman for Amgen declined to comment

to Reuters.
