Medication Safe - Dr. Ben Tsutaoka

National Poison Prevention week is March 14-20, 2010.

More than 2 million poisonings are reported each year to the 61 Poison Control Centers across the country. The majority of poisonings occur in the home and involve children younger than 6 years old.

National Poison Prevention Week was established by Congress in 1961 and designated as the third week in March to highlight the dangers of poisoning and how to prevent them.
