Prevent Poisonings
- Store medicines
and household products in their original containers.
- Lock medicines and
household products where children cannot see or reach
them.
- Use
child-resistant packaging. Replace the caps tightly
after using a product.
- Read the label
before taking or giving medicine — every time.
- Use household
products according to label directions. Mixing household
products can cause dangerous gases to form.
- Install a carbon
monoxide alarm.
