According to the report, seven people were briefly hospitalized after a suspicious package containing a white powder was opened at the military base near the US capital that is home to Air Force One, the presidential jet, US media reported.
The report stated that the CNN television network said initial tests of the unknown substance by a HAZMAT team found it not to be hazardous, but an investigation was ongoing. The individuals at Joint Base Andrews who were taken to the hospital on Thursday were subsequently released, CNN said.
It was suspected that the package was likely charged to a politician's propaganda. Joint Base Andrews in Maryland is a short drive from Washington and is used by senior US government officials.
In addition to the report, President Donald Trump landed at the facility as recently as Wednesday on an Air Force One flight returning him from a business forum in Florida.
CNN said the package was opened in a building that houses the Air National Guard Readiness Center on the sprawling base.
The investigation is still ongoing.
