Each year, over 1 million babies, toddlers, and children are accidentally poisoned
in their homes. 250,000 of these victims are hospitalized. 3,000 children will
end up in intensive care. Dozens more will die. Thousands of children and
adults are permanently disfigured or injured through contact with chemicals in
the home, each year. The amazing fact is, the most common substance to poison
children is a household cleaner. Many of these products are considered safe!
Think of your own home - you probably have dozens of bottles of cleaners,
containing hundreds of chemicals. Could an accident happen in your home?
