OEM TIP OF THE WEEK: DON'T LET YOUR HOME BE TOXIC TO YOUR HEALTH
The NYC Poison Control Center receives about 300 calls each day. About 78% of these emergencies occur in the home, and more than half of the calls to poison centers involve children under age five. Every day you can do something to prevent poisoning. Some things you can do to poison-proof your home include:
- Choose safe products with child-resistant caps.
- Read the directions carefully each time you use a product.
- Keep products out of reach of children and store them in original containers.
