HOUSEHOLD CHEMICALS, A LOADED GUN
Today, the average home today contains more chemicals than were found in a typical chemistry lab at the turn of the century. The Consumer Safety Commission has determined that cleaning products are some of the most dangerous substances in your home.
Let's start in your kitchen and bathroom. Look under the sinks where you keep your cleaning and personal care supplies. In most homes, we find Window cleaner, Bleach, Laundry and dishwashing detergents, Shampoo, Mouth wash. These products are lethal poisons which can kill or seriously injure your child.
Would you keep a loaded gun under your sink? Of course not! But, these products can be just as deadly.
Where do you keep your cleaning and personal care products? Do you keep them locked or up, and out of reach of children. If you do, good!
Think about this, would you feel comfortable keeping a loaded gun there? Would you bet your child's life that he or she could never get to that gun? A staggering statistic remains, more children under 4 die of accidental poisonings at home than are accidentally killed with guns at home.
You may not be aware that there are products on the market that are effective, much safer, and more economical than grocery store brands. The fact is, using safer household products, you would no longer be taking unnecessary chances with your child.
