10 kids ingested windshield wiper fluid at a daycare in Little Rock, AR. The kids, aged 2-7, each had about one ounce of the fluid.  One child had a high blood level of methanol, which can cause blindness.

These days, consumers are increasingly interested in the environmental and social responsibility of the companies that manufacture their favorite products.  Public companies must answer to shareholders and have largely adopted transparent reporting initiatives that detail their corporate responsibility.  Food and drink manufacturers that depend on raw materials – like fruits and vegetables – are committed to environmental stewardship programs that ensure consistent supplies of produce.
