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.

Aloha Kakou,
1.) Someone at the school just failed the IQ Test.
2.) How could the person serving the kids not smell it? Call the Cops…!
3.) Welcome Keiki to your beginning of 12 more years of education…!

How stupid are those classroom assistants? I think they should be able to read before caring for the Children……
Stupid “assistant” can’t read English, Pinesol is not apple juice. Who hires these incompetent workers? That person and those that hired him/her should be fired along with having them drink a cup of Pinesol just to see how it feels like.
Makes you wonder if any more than $billions being poured into the State’s DOE is the answer, but maybe a complete audit to where the largest budget is actually going to.
