How in the world do you ';mistakenly'; put a gallon of washer fluid in your refrigerator?

if you haven't heard, a woman in Arkansas served it to several kids at her home day care business. She said she thought it was fruit juice.How in the world do you ';mistakenly'; put a gallon of washer fluid in your refrigerator?
I can't vouch for ';thinking it was fruit juice';, but I have put the stupidest things in the refrigerator, usually because I was on the phone or otherwise distracted at the time. My husband once found a jug of milk under the sink and a jug of cleaning fluid in the fridge. In my defense, the containers were similarly shaped, so it's easy to mix them up if you're not paying attention.





Also keep in mind that most cleaning liquids these days are pretty brilliantly coloured and do tend to look a lot like some of the less healthy fruit drinks on the market. If it was industrial, it could have been in an unmarked jug for easy refilling. This is why you're supposed to keep cleaning supplies locked away if you have small children who can't read and don't know any better. If you've ever seen Hawaiian Punch, I am continually amazed that people drink such unnatural colours. I would think that the smell would have given it away when she poured it, but I suppose if she was busy she might not notice.





I'm not trying to excuse her, just provide a different scenario.How in the world do you ';mistakenly'; put a gallon of washer fluid in your refrigerator?
It's on par with brushing your teeth with cortisone cream only deadlier. Windshield washer fluid, like other dangerous products should be immediately moved to a locked cabinet. This day care business lost its license and hopefully will not get it back. That's sloppy, careless, irresponsible, and dangerous.





Only one child is still in the hospital. This could have destroyed kidneys and it could have been fatal.
It was probably in an unmarked container, and somebody else probably put it on the counter. I can see how she could mistake it for juice just by looking at it, since a lot of kids' drinks are the same bright blue color. I'm not saying she's not responsible for what happened, but at least she did the responsible thing and voluntarily handed over her license.
You start by being a fat, uneducated drunken dopehead idiot
It would take a moron to do something like that.


No label?


No smell?


Blue juice...well,maybe but she needs to find a better system to separate food from chemicals!
Maybe the kids were swearing. Ever heard about washing mouth out with soap?
people do dumb things all the time , i guess you have never done anything dumb. (sarcasm)
doesn't sound like a mistake, it sounds like the murders using antifreeze
Sme she didn't drink it herself. Natural selection and whatnot...
Yupper... she's a keeper eh..
