Protect your baby from household poisoning
Keep all the things out of their reach that may be poisoning to your baby. Use baby-resistant wrapping to help prevent poisonings with medicines and household chemicals. Each year poison control centers report nearly one million children under the age of five are exposed to potentially poisonous medicines and household chemicals.
Medicines (especially iron pills and food supplements containing iron),old toys, household substances, insect sprays, kerosene, lighter fluid, some furniture polishes, turpentine, points, solvents, and products containing lye and acids are most frequently the cause of accidental poisoning among children.
Never leave a bottle of aspirin or other pills where children can reach it kept back it to a safe place immediately after using.
MEDICINES ...
Keep medicines out of reach - and out of sight - of all children.
HOUSEHOLD PRODUCTS
Read labels before using any household product and follow the directions carefully. Store these products so that children cannot reach them.
Always check child-resistant wrapping.
KEEP ALL PRODUCTS IN ORIGINAL CONTAINERS
never transfer products to a bottle without a child-resistant closure.
Never place kerosene, anti-freeze, paints, or solvents in cups, glasses, milk or soft-drink bottles, or other utensils customarily used for food or drinks.

Discharge contents down drain or toilet, and clean container before discarding. Do not put container with its contents into trash.

Cleaning fluids, detergents, soap powders, insecticides, and other everyday household products should be stored away from food and medications. Death could be the result of a mistaken identity.
LEARN CURIOSITY OF GROWING CHILDREN...
Attractive things like pills bottles and containers of all kinds keep away from child. These produce their natural curiosity. If a child is in the crawling stage, arrange to keep household products in places other than below the kitchen sink unless the cabinet is locked or secured with child safety latches.
If the child is walking stage, be sure that bottles and boxes containing medicines or household products are put away before answering the telephone or doorbell or other work.

After using a product, always re-secure the child resistant finish.
