In March of 2009, according to AP reports dated from Little Rock, ten children in an Arkansas day care center drank windshield wiper fluid after "it was mistaken for Kool-Aid and placed in a refrigerator."
Authorities stated that they children were hospitalized but later released in good condition, but that several had "measurable levels" of methanol in blood samples.
