Helpful Tip
Store all materials labeled, "Keep Out of Reach of Children" in locked or childproof cabinets, regardless of whether the children can reach or see the materials. This includes zip top bags of all sizes and plastic grocery bags. What to do with soiled clothing? Ask your local butcher for butcher paper; wrap the soiled clothes in the paper and seal it closed with packing tape.
