A teenage employee celebrated his birthday by taking a bath in the utility sink at the Burger King in Xenia, Ohio, local station WHIO-TV reported.

Greene County Health Commissioner Mark McDonnell was e-mailed the video that appeared on MySpace.com and is now using it as evidence.

In the video, the employee dumps water on himself using a bucket marked with the words, "sanitary solution." But McDonnell said the sink is used to clean utensils and there is nothing sanitary about what the teenager did.

McDonnell said, "Any bacteria on his skin could have been deposited giving people food poisoning." The person recording the video allegedly told the Burger King manager what was happening, but she continued to count cash.

Officials at the Burger King Corp. were notified of the incident Monday and are cooperating with the health department.

Burger King Corp. released a statement saying, "We have sanitized the sink and have disposed of all other kitchen tools and utensils that were used during the incident. We have also taken appropriate corrective action on the employees that were involved in this video. Additionally, the remaining staff at this restaurant is being retrained in health and sanitation procedures."
