(KSL News) A suspicious letter with powder resulted in a temporary lockdown at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center in Provo this afternoon.
The letter was opened at a Provo business and two men who were exposed to the powder sealed the suspicious envelope and went to the emergency room.
The men were quarantined and that area was put on lockdown for about an hour as a precaution until HAZMAT teams could determine the powder was nontoxic. It's believed to be talcum powder.
Provo police say they are turning the case over to the FBI and postal inspectors.
