LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - Hospital officials say 10 children
drank windshield wiper fluid after staffers at an Arkansas daycare
center mistook the liquid for Kool-Aid.
A pediatrician at Arkansas Children's Hospital in Little Rock
says the children, ages 2 to 6, are OK, but continue to be
monitored. The doctor said each child drank about an ounce late
Thursday afternoon.
The hospital did not identify the Scott community daycare. State
child welfare officials did not immediately return a call for
comment Friday.
The fluid contained toxic alcohols. A pediatric toxicologist
says those chemicals can cause kidney damage and blindness.
