(KSL News) Twenty-one people gathered for a family reunion in Lake Powell ended up with carbon monoxide poisoning.

Officials say generators on the family's houseboats produced the gas.

The group was treated with oxygen and released.

The incident comes just days after a 7-year-old girl drowned on the lake with carbon monoxide poisoning.

Officials warn boaters to keep windows open and turn generators off at night.
