Alaska kids served floor sealant instead of milk at school program

A dozen children and two adults were served floor sealant instead of milk at a day care summer program at an Alaska elementary school after the containers were apparently mixed up, the school district superintendent said Wednesday.

Several students complained of burning sensations in their mouth and throats, and at least one child was treated at a hospital after the Tuesday morning incident in Juneau, Superintendent Bridget Weiss said.

Juneau police are leading the investigation of how the mix-up occurred, "not really because we believe there's anything criminal or mal-intent at this point, but we do want a thorough investigation of what happened, how it happened, and they're trained investigators," Weiss said.
