National Poison Prevention Week
Lock it up, look it up.
When is National Poison Prevention Week?
From March 16 to March 22.
What is National Poison Prevention Week?
National Poison Prevention Week, held in the third full week of March, teaches families how to prevent poisonings at home, where most of them happen. Congress established it in 1961, and President John F. Kennedy issued its first proclamation in 1962. Poison control centres answer about two million calls a year on the free Poison Help line, 1-800-222-1222, and the week reminds people to lock up medicines and cleaning products, especially where young children live.
