 About 90,000 children are seen in hospital emergency rooms each year due to unintentional poisonings, many of which occur in the home. Customers need to think outside of the box or beyond the medicine and kitchen cabinets. When it comes to poison prevention, check all the rooms of your house. Check your garage for the invisible killer. Carbon monoxide or CO from cars or small engines such as portable generators is a colorless, odorless gas. It can kill you and your family within minutes. Always use a portable generator outside, at least 20 feet away from doors, windows, and vents. A generator can be a lifesaver after a storm, but it can be a lifetaker if used inside, including a garage. In the basement, gas furnaces and water heaters are potential sources of deadly CO. Have your furnace checked each year and get a CO detector for your home. This fairly new product has brought a new hazard to the laundry room. Single load laundry packets can look like candy or tea them rings to young children, but they contain poisonous ingredients. There has been at least one death and numerous reports of children who were hospitalized after putting the packets in their mouths. These laundry packets are loads of temptation to children. Keep all laundry products sealed in their original packaging stored up high and out of a child's sight and reach. Young's family rooms and living rooms may contain a coin-sized danger. Coin cell batteries like this one can pose a choking hazard to young children. If swallowed, the battery can become lodged in a child's throat and create a dangerous acid. That acid can quickly cause deadly burns inside a child. Keep remotes, key fobs, musical greeting cards, used hearing aid batteries, gaming devices and other small electronics with coin-sized batteries out of a child's reach. Watch where you keep purses and pill boxes. Some medicines may look like candy to small children. Hang your purse and store your pill boxes up out of sight and reach. Back to kitchen and bathrooms. Think on tight and out of sight. Keep medicines and household cleaners in their original child-resistant packaging. Secure the lid after each use and place them out of a child's sight and reach. When high storage is not an option, store medicines and household chemicals in cabinets with child-resistant locks. Remember, child-resistant does not mean child-proof.
