During the meal, the girls complained their cranberry juice tasted like it had been "poisoned".
It was later discovered that a bartender employed by the restaurant had given the girls a pink-coloured citronella torch and lamp oil solution.

A restaurant owner has been fined $40,000 after he was found guilty of being responsible for two children and their mother being serviced mosquito repellant instead of cranberry juice by a bar tender in 2024.
Michele Angiuli, 35, was charged after a family who ate at his since shutdown Italian restaurant called police after the incident that left their daughters aged 11 and 12 and their mum drinking a small amount of citronella.
Angiuli was sentenced over the incident on Tuesday, with Perth Magistrates Court hearing that it was his bar tender who accidently poured the drinks with insecticide instead of the juice they ordered, but because he did not have a food safety officer and because he had a disordered bar area, that he had “failed to act with due diligence”.
