The Associated Press is reporting this morning that children at an Arkansas day care are being checked after wiper fluid was stored in the business's refrigerator.

The blue fluid was mistaken for Kool-Aid and at least 10 young children drank about one ounce of it before realizing it tasted bad.

Blood samples from one child had measurable amounts of methanol, which can cause blindness or comas.

That child remained in hospital this morning.
