Household medications and children | Toledo Ohio child accident attorney

Many parents don't believe that the tragic accident of their child being poisoned will happen to them, the reality of it though is that every year a half a million children under the age of 5 will get into household medications and be poisoned.
Dr. Randall Bond, who is an advocate for better prescription drug safety in the home says he is convinced that this can happen to anyone. He shared his own story about the close cal in his own home. He and his wife kept a bottle of Sudafed in the top shelf of the cabinet in their bedroom. One day when they had guests over his daughter, who was 3 at the time, opened all the drawers, climbed up on the counter and opened the medicine cabinet and started to take it. Thankfully, him and his wife got to their daughter before they needed an emergency visit.
To prevent this from happening parents should lock up their medication and get rid of the extra meds as well. It is important to practice the proper safety cautions so that your child will not be harmed from accidental poisoning.
