A child was served concentrated dish detergent instead of water at a preschool in Sande, Vestfold county, Norway. The child was later hospitalized.

The preschool has explained that they had confused a jug of water with a jug full of dish detergent, according to Drammens Tidende^[Local newspaper for Drammen, a major city and Oslo suburb near Sande.].

—"When the child was given something to drink, it unfortunately came from a misidentified container of concentrated dish detergent, which was poorly marked, incorrectly placed, and not checked by the person pouring it. No other children were served dish detergent," the preschool writes in a statement to the parents.

The preschool says that the mistake was quickly discovered, and that the child drank no more than one or two sips of the dish detergent. The preschool contacted poison control for advice but did not call 113 [emergency number for ambulances]; it was the child's parents who called 113 when they arrived, and the child was hospitalized.

The newspaper writes that the child was discharged from the hospital after a few days, but is now back at the hospital for further treatment.

Drammens Tidende has contacted the head of the preschool, who directed them to the central offices of {Læringsverkstedet.|lit. "The Learning Workshop"} Læringsverkstedet is a chain of preschools^[One of the largest private preschool chains in Norway, in fact: 236 preschools taking care of ~18,000 children in 2019.].

—"We are first and foremost deeply sorry for what has happened, and we are now focused on caring for the child and family," writes Læringsverkstedet's leader of public relations Ragnar Sagdahl.

That's a lawsuit waiting to happen, literally looks like and is marketed like a fruit punch.

Ya, I could absolutely see myself throwing one of those in the fridge if I was unloading groceries in a hurry.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
