In honor of National Poison Prevention Week, Safe Kids has released a new report and infographic titled
Safe Medicine Storage: A Look at the Disconnect Between Parent Behavior and Knowledge
.
This report highlights the different between what parents know they should do to prevent unintentional medication poisonings and what they actually do. The survey found that although 9 out of 10 parents know that it is important to store medicine up, away, and out of sight from children, 7 out of 10 parents report that they often store their medicine where children can see and sometimes reach it.
