Can you spot the difference? It’s easy to mix up products when the packaging, color, texture, or containers are similar. A simple mix-up can lead to an accidental poisoning. To prevent “look-alike” poisonings: ??Store medications and household products up, high, and out of reach of children. ??Read labels carefully and double check products and medications before using them. ??Never leave young children unattended with medications or chemicals. If anyone uses the wrong product, call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222. Poison Help is here for you 24/7 with confidential, non-judgmental, and free expert advice.
