11 and 12-year-old Perth girls hospitalized after mistakenly consuming insect repellent at a restaurant.

Perth family claims their children were accidentally served insect repellent instead of juice at a restaurant in Nedlands. Michele Lemin and her daughters, ages 11 and 12, spent hours in the hospital after ingesting the poisonous liquid. The family ordered cranberry juice, but were given citronella torches and lamp oil, a red chemical solution used to repel adult mosquitoes. The restaurant is now under investigation by local health authorities.
