He was playing with the other kindergarten children and of course was unaware that it was pepper spray. The kindergarten's educational staff quickly noticed this and called the rescue forces.
After brief medical treatment, the children were sent home.
The parents said that last night they went on a family trip and the pepper spray, intended for protection purposes, was put in a bag - and forgotten there.
