10 kids drink windshield wiper fluid at daycare
Staffers mistook liquid for Kool-Aid, Arkansas officials say

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - Hospital officials say 10 children drank windshield wiper fluid after a staffer at Arkansas daycare center mistook the liquid for Kool-Aid.

Laura James, a pediatric pharmacologist and toxicologist at Arkansas Children's Hospital, tell The Associated Press that the daycare staffer put the windshield wiper fluid in a refrigerator by accident after a shopping trip.

James says doctors estimate the children, ages 2 to 7, each drank about an ounce of the fluid before realizing what it was Thursday afternoon.

Hilary DeMillo, a hospital spokeswoman, says one child remained hospitalized Friday. James says the child had high levels of methanol in blood samples, which can cause blindness.

Julie Munsell, a spokeswoman for the state Department of Human Services, says child welfare officials planned to visit the community daycare Friday. Munsell did not know the name of the daycare.

I find so
mad people EVERYWHERE

but to see some of the containers that Eman posted, the operators needed to store the stuff better if that is the real case.

having said that,   reading a label goes a long way not so
