The Lemin family ordered drinks at a Perth restaurant. Moments later they were rushing their children to hospital

A family is furious after claiming their children were accidentally given insect repellent instead of juice at a restaurant in Western Australia.

Marcus and Michele Lemin claim their daughters Hannah and Olivia were administered the toxic liquid at a location in Perth on Friday evening.

The sisters, aged 11 and 12, had initially ordered cranberry juice with their dinner.

But they are said to have been given citronella torch and lamp oil, a red chemical solution used to repel adult mosquitoes.

“My daughters were just going to drink it and then they both spit out the cranberry juice and said, ‘It’s poisoned,’” Ms. Lemin said. ABC.

The mother then took a sip and spit it out as well.

After smelling the liquid, the girls’ father demanded to see the bottle from which it came.

Mr Lemin claimed the staff member initially refused, but later handed him a bottle of insecticide taken from the refrigerator.

Mr Lemin took a photo of the bottle, which showed the label “Plus Bifenthrin” printed on it, along with a prominent warning.

The furious father said the waiter apologized and seemed upset by the incident.

After receiving advice from the poison control centre, Hannah and Olivia were taken to Perth Children’s Hospital where they were monitored for six hours.

“I was really afraid of what it was, and I was afraid I was going to die,” Olivia said 9News.

“It felt like someone had poured fire into your stomach and it felt like you had pins and needles in your arms and legs.”

The girls’ mother was also monitored at the Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital.

All three have now been discharged and are resting at home.

Mr Lemin said he had contacted local authorities and filed a complaint with the Ministry of Health.

It is understood the department will support the local council, which is responsible for investigating the family’s claims.

Mr Lemin said he hopes the incident will be thoroughly investigated so that no other family has to go through what they did.

“I think it’s pretty simple, right?” Mr. Lemin said.

“You can’t run a restaurant and allow chemicals to get into an area where these kinds of mistakes can happen.

‘At a minimum, measures must be taken to ensure that they adhere in principle to the safe handling of chemicals and hazardous substances prescribed by the state.’

Micky’s Italian Fusion said it is investigating the incident.
