Every 10 minutes a young child is taken to the ER because of possible poisoning from swallowing a prescription drug or over-the-counter medicine, say children’s doctors at the University of Michigan’s Mott Children’s Hospital.
One key reason may be that nearly 1 of every 4 grandparents store prescription medicines in easy-access ways, according to the UMich poll on Children’s Health.

Take action: Remind grandparents to move their medicines when grandchildren are visiting. Locked cabinets are safest.
