15Dec

We are becoming accustomed to reading labels on the foods we buy because we want to know what we are eating and drinking.  We should also read the labels of our cleaning products, pesticides, medicines where they clearly display the words, “Keep Out of the Reach of Children.”

We use cabinet door locks, drawer locks to provide for child safety at home, but we should still put these hazardous materials out of reach in a locked cabinet.  Most of these substances will be found in the kitchen, bathroom and garage.

It is also important to leave the hazardous materials in their original containers as they have important instructions for what to do if accidentally ingested.  If left is a cup, they may be mistaken for food or drink.
