Evidence:
The department received two serious injury reports that were reported by the licensee via the online portal on 8/12/2022.
The first incident involved an 8 year old child who consumed a food preservative packet labeled "Do not eat". Poison Control was contacted for guidance on what, if any, actions needed to be taken. The incident occurred on 8/8/2022 and was reported to the Deapartment 4 days later.
The second incident involved a 7 year old child who was hit in the back of the head with a piece of brick resulting in a deep cut requiring stitches. This incident occurred on 8/9/2022 and was reported to the Department 3 days later.
The licensing inspector was present at the facility on 8/9/2022 after both incidents had occurred, but was not made aware that two serious incidents requiring outside medical attention had occurred.
Neither incident requiring outside medical attention were reported to the department within the required 2 business day time frame.Plan of Correction: The licensee will submit their plan of correction response within 10 days of receipt of the inspection report dated 9/7/2022 (by 9/17/2022).
