Simple Steps to Safe Medicine Storage

Nearly 9 in 10 parents agree that it’s important to store medicine up high and out of reach of children after every use, but nearly 7 in 10 report that they aren’t actually doing so. Watch our new video, made with the support of Johnson & Johnson Consumer, Inc. to see what it means to put medicine out of reach and sight and for more tips to protect kids at home.

THE FACTS: Medications are the leading cause of child poisoning. In 2013, over 59,000 children were seen in emergency room for medicine poisoning. That’s one child every nine minutes. Almost all of these visits are because the child got into medicines during a moment alone.

Check out the attached video for some more information!
