Poison Prevention Week: Keeping Chemicals Away From Our Kids
Show: Healthy Children
This week is Poison Prevention Week (March 21 - 27 2021) so we're talking about keeping chemicals away from our kids. It's so scary and really so easy for kids to get into things like laundry pods, drugs and alcohol, and other household goods.
Dr. Kevin Osterhoudt is an attending physician in the Division of Emergency Medicine and the medical director of the Poison Control Center at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP).
He talks about the importance of safety locks, keeping adult beverages and items up and away from kids, small batteries, and other things you might not have thought of.
The National Poison Control Hotline is (800) 222-1222
