Locked Up and Out of the Reach of Kids | Health

New laundry packets now dissolve in the washing machine.  Because they are colorful and squishy, they are attractive to children.

The experts at your local poison center urge parents and caregivers to:

• Always keep detergents locked up, high, and out of the reach of children.
• Follow the instructions on the product label.
• Call your local poison center at 1-800-222-1222 immediately if you think a child has been exposed to a packet of highly concentrated liquid laundry detergent.
