Poisoning is the third leading cause of accidental death in children.
Children under the age of six are at the greatest risk for unintentional poisoning. The third week of March is designated by Congress as Poison Prevention Week to help raise community awareness of unintentional poisonings. Children act fast, and adults must make sure that household chemicals and medicines are stored away from children at all times . Advise any caregiver to take the child or the product with them to answer the telephone or doorbell. Poison proof your home today.
