General Guidelines
- Supervise children and never leave a child alone with a poisonous product.
- Install safety latches on cabinets and drawers.
- Teach small children to “ask an adult first” before putting anything into their mouths.
- Use child-resistance packages, but this is not completely safe because the child may be able to open the package.
- Share this information with grandparents, family, friends, caregivers and babysitters.
- Place the Poison Unit telephone number, 1-800-500-000, on or near your phone so it is easy to find in an emergency.
