The article marks the 10th anniversary of the Poison Prevention Packaging Act and its impact on child safety. It cites federal estimates that safety caps prevented about 40 deaths and 65,000 injuries in 1981, with large reductions since 1972 in aspirin overdoses and household product poisonings. It urges buyers to use child resistant containers, keep labels, store substances securely, and have poison control numbers handy.
