HONOLULU— Officials say three children took sips of the household cleaner Pine-Sol after a classroom assistant at a Honolulu preschool mistook the liquid for apple juice.
The Honolulu Emergency Services Department says paramedics evaluated three young girls at the Kilohana United Methodist Church Preschool on Tuesday morning, finding no signs trauma or sickness.
The children were not taken to the hospital.
The state Department of Health inspected the preschool afterward.
The inspection report says the assistant prepared crackers and juice for the children. The classroom teacher smelled the liquid wasn’t apple juice and stopped students from drinking.
The report notes the cleaner was in its original container and properly labeled.
The preschool says it will be evaluating its process for obtaining snacks and refreshments to prevent this from occurring again.
