POISON PREVENTION TIPS

  • Supervise young children at all times.

  • Lock or store medicines and dangerous household products out of the reach of children.
  • Keep handbags out of reach of children.
  • Use child-resistant closures on medicines and dangerous household products.
  • Keep products in their original containers.
  • Store food and household products in separate areas. It's easy to make a mistake.

  • Use medication and household products according to the instructions on their labels.
  • Install carbon monoxide alarms
