Experts Plead For Use Of Packages
Washington experts urged use of child resistant medicine packaging and keeping medicines and household chemicals out of reach of children. CPSC member Carol Dawson cited a study showing many poisonings occur from items left on counters with inadequate packaging and improper closure. Marsha Millonig noted child poison deaths dropped from nearly 500 in the 1960s to 64 in 1984 due to safer packaging, medical care, and more regional poison control centers.
