From a recent article from the Pediatrics Journal…
“Despite advances in recent years and the decrease in fatal poisonings, unintentional child poisonings remain an important public health concern” said U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) investigators Robert L. Franklin and Dr. Gregory B. Rodgers.
Through improvements in product packaging has lowered the occurrence of child poisonings, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (USPC) found that in 2004, there were over 86,000 accidental poisonings of children under 5 years old.
According to a recent study in the Pediatrics Journal (Dec 2008), 55% of the involved products had “child-resistant packaging” — most often oral medications.
The most common cause of poisoning in the remaining 45% of cases involved cleaning products.
Parents and caregivers need to recognize that child-resistant does NOT mean child-proof, and that all potentially toxic products (meds, cleaning products, lighter fluid, antifreeze etc.) must be kept out of the reach of children.
