Tip Of The Day | Avoiding Accidental Poisonings | Ormond Beach Child Injury Lawyer

By performing just a few common sense practices in a home, parents can ensure the well-being of their child's health and future and avoid accidental poisonings.

Most poisonings happen in a child's home, but some take place outside of it, such as while visiting the home of a friend, family member, or babysitter. For this reason, it's critical that all caregivers of children make a room-by-room inspection of their homes for improperly stored pesticide products.

Common household pesticides include:

• Roach sprays and baits;
• Bath and kitchen disinfectants and sanitizers, including bleach;
• Rat and other rodent poisons;
• Insect repellents;
• Products used to kill mold or mildew;
• Flea and tick shampoos, powders, and dips for pets; and
• Weed killers.

These products should be stored properly, out of children's reach.
