Child Safety Tips
Protect Young Children From Poisoning
Why This Matters
More than half of Poison Center calls involve children five years old or younger. Many exposures happen when medicines or household products are left within reach.
How To Reduce Risk
Safely storing medicines and cleaning products is one of the most effective ways to prevent poisonings. Keep products up high and out of a child’s reach, and consider using a medication lock box.
