Prevention Tips
Store Poisons Safely
- Keep items in locked storage, where children cannot
see or reach them.
- Store poisons in their original containers.
Use child-resistant packaging, but remember--nothing
is child-proof!
Use Poisons Safely
- Read the label. Follow the directions on medicines
and products.
- Are children around? Take the product or medicine
with you to answer the door or the phone.
- Lock products and medicines up after using them.
- Is it medicine? Call it medicine, not candy.
- Children learn by imitation. Take your medicines
where children can't watch.
Teach Children to Ask First
Poisons can look like food or drink. Teach children
to ask an adult before eating or drinking anything.
