Child-resistant closures save lives in poisoning decline
Dr. Timothy Flaherty of the Wisconsin Medical Society notes that child resistant packaging mandated by the 1970 Poison Prevention Packaging Act and consumer safety testing reduced accidental poisonings. He cites 200,000 children saved over six years and a drop in death rates from 1.1 to 0.05 per 1,000 between 1973 and 1978, while stressing ongoing education and selective non complying closures with warnings.
