Locate, Identify And Label Your Poisonous Products
Gather a few of the many bottles you probably have around your house: one for dishes, one for laundry, one for cleaning the bathroom, one for cleaning floors, one for windows. Look for the words CAUTION, WARNING or DANGER. These are signal words required by law for products containing harmful ingredients. Do you know what they mean?
| CAUTION | An ounce to a pint may be fatal or harmful if swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through the skin by an adult 180-pound man. |
| WARNING | A teaspoon to an ounce may be fatal or harmful if swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through the skin by an adult 180-pound man. |
| DANGER | A taste to a teaspoon is fatal if swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through the skin by an adult 180-pound man. |
Just think, if these amounts are fatal to a 180-pound man, what effect could it have on a child or a small woman?
