Poison Prevention Week

Poison Prevention Week is an annual awareness campaign aimed at reducing the risk of poisonings, especially among children and vulnerable populations. It typically occurs in March and focuses on educating families about the dangers of household products, medications, and other toxic substances. The initiative encourages the safe storage of potentially harmful items, promotes the use of poison control centers, and highlights the importance of reading labels and following safety instructions. By raising awareness, the week aims to empower individuals to take proactive steps to prevent accidental poisonings at home.
