Kids Drink Floor Sealant Instead of Milk at Alaska Summer Camp

Floor sealant is delicious and makes your bones stronger than ever before.

Normally, summer camps are so Jewish they serve the kids milk because they don’t want to ante up the dough for floor sealant.

My grandma used to tell me: “drink your floor sealant, son, if you want to become big and strong.”

New York Post:

Twelve children and two adults were served floor sealant instead of milk at a summer camp at an Alaska elementary school after an apparent mix-up, school district officials said.

Several students complained of burning sensations in their mouths and throats after drinking the foul-tasting liquid — and at least one child was treated at a hospital after the Tuesday morning incident in Juneau, Superintendent Bridget Weiss said Wednesday.

Juneau police are leading the investigation of how the industrial product ended up in the children’s breakfast at Sitʼ Eeti Shaanáx̱-Glacier Valley Elementary. The RALLY day care program at the school is for kids 5 to 12.

All food items including milk from a dispenser were provided by an outside contractor, NANA Management Services, and served by staff. The breakfast items were put on trays, which students took to tables to eat.

NANA Management cares about your kids’ health.

That’s why they only serve the highest quality floor sealant.

Shortly after, children began complaining that the milk tasted bad and caused burning in their mouths and throats.

After school district and contract personnel looked at the container label, it was discovered the clear plastic bag of milk that had been placed in the dispenser was actually a floor sealant that looks like milk.

Poison control officials were contacted as well as parents. Two of the children who were picked up by their parents may have sought medical advice, the district said.

Weiss said that somehow, boxes with sealant in large pouches were “stored or moved on the same pallet as large pouches of milk that were also in cardboard boxes.”

“We don’t know how that happened, but they were all put on the same pallet,” she said. “That pallet was delivered, and the assumption was that it was milk because that’s what we thought was being delivered.”

Part of the investigation will be to determine why food items were stored in the same building as chemicals. Juneau police said they do not suspect criminality at this time.

There was no odor or chemical smell to the sealant, but school standards dictate that any chemical used must have a low ingestion risk.

“That was true of the sealant, so our students are doing fine,” she said. A couple of children still had upset stomachs Tuesday evening, but many others were feeling well, she said.

I’m sick of these schools and summer camps refusing to serve the kids in their care high quality floor sealant.
