Consumer Warning: Household Cleaner's Packaging Looks Like Fruit Juice

It looks like a refreshing fruit punch but drinking this liquid would require a phone call to poison control.

I couldn't help but snap a photo of this product with my cell phone after I saw it near the checkout stand at a Home Depot. 

The packaging for this all-purpose home cleaner looks identical to the packaging for fruit juice. If I was a parent I don't think I'd want that in my home in case a child reached for it thinking it was juice. Or imagine throwing a party and someone pouring it in the punch bowl thinking it was fruit punch. 

Granted it does say "baking soda" and "fragrance" on the bottle with an image of a mop, but the majority of that label shows delicious looking fruit.
