Millions of people are poisoned every year, and children under 6 are at the greatest risk. National safety studies have revealed more
than 2/3 of homes with young children report storing household chemicals in unlocked places. Every family can take steps to avoid a
poisoning injury:

     Keep harmful household chemicals in an out-of-reach, locked cabinet.
     Never leave children alone with household products or medications. If you are using a product, take the child with you to the telephone or the door.
     Most poisonings occur when the product is in use.
     Install child locks on cabinets—especially where you store harmful items.
     Keep household medicines and poisonous products in their original, labeled, child-resistant containers.
     Install carbon monoxide (CO) detectors.
Keep the number of your local poison control center near your phone, or program it into your speed dial. The national poison control center number is 1-800-
222-1222. Poisonings is the second leading cause of death in young children
