A day care center in Arkansas mistakenly and negligently served children windshield wiper fluid during snack time. Apparently, a day care center work had placed the blue windshield wiper fluid in the day care center’s refrigerator. Thereafter, the windshield wiper fluid was mistaken for a fruit juice or Kool Aid type of drink and then served to the children. The children ranged in ages from 2 to 7 years old. Doctors and toxicologist estimate that the children drank approximately one ounce of the fluid before realizing that it tasted wrong. The children were evaluated and treated at Arkansas Children’s Hospital. One child had to be admitted after blood samples showed elevated levels of methanol which is a highly toxic kind of alcohol that can cause serious personal injuries including death, coma, and blindness. The Arkansas Department of Human Resources will conduct an investigation into this incident.
