Bill Clinton,
Proclamation 6977
“ Virtually all poisonings are preventable, and we must continue to inform parents, grandparents, and caregivers how to prevent childhood poisonings. The Poison Prevention Week Council, a coalition of 39 national organizations determined to stop accidental poisonings, distributes valuable information used by poison control centers, pharmacies, public health departments, and others to conduct poison prevention programs in their communities.Simple safety measures-such as correctly using child-resistant packaging and keeping potentially harmful substances locked away from children-can save lives. ”
