HOW TO STAY AWARE DURING NATIONAL POISON PREVENTION WEEK The Real Threat of Poison
March 16 marks the start of National Poison Prevention Week. The Champion Firm wants to do its part in spreading awareness because not many families realize just how important it is to lock away their household cleaning supplies or how dangerous the colorful packaging can be. More than two million poisonings are reported each year to the nation’s poison control centers. According to the American Association of Poison Control Centers, 93% of poisonings happen at home, and 45% of poisonings involve children under the age of 6. Why do so many children get poisoned? How can you prevent this from happening to your family? Keep track of substances. The last thing you want is to store harmful chemicals and substances inappropriately where children can reach them. Make sure lower cabinets are locked if they contain cleaners and chemicals and don’t use food containers to store them. They should be kept in their original containers. Also, keep all your medicines and other potentially poisonous substances labeled properly and either locked up or out of children’s reach. Be wary of carbon monoxide. Make sure you have a working carbon monoxide detector in your home — the best locations being in bedrooms and close
to furnaces. Carbon monoxide is known for being able to kill people in their sleep, and it causes 20,000 emergency room visits and over 4,000 hospitalizations a year. It can destroy your immune system and require a highly cautious lifestyle if you do survive. Clean up art supplies. Some art products are simply mixtures of chemicals and can be dangerous when not handled carefully. Make sure children use art products safely by reading and following
directions. You should never eat and drink while handling art products, and wash your skin and equipment after each project. It’s also best to keep your art supplies in their original containers. Don’t miss out on these ways to keep your household happy and healthy for years to come — but if you believe your poisoning has been caused at the fault of a company’s defective product, you can trust The Champion Firm to fight for you and your loved ones.
