Store all cleaning materials and other dangerous substances in their original containers. Never store them in familiar food containers such as milk or juice cartons, even though you are sure they are securely locked away where your child cannot get at them. (See last chapter for information on product poisoning.)

Keep plastic wrap and all sizes of plastic bags out of your child’s reach, especially garbage and dry cleaning bags. (This warning obviously includes bags stored in bedrooms, closets and the garage, or anywhere else.) When you dispose of plastic bags, tie them in knots. Then they cannot possibly be wrapped around a child’s face or inhaled to cause suffocation.

Remember to keep boxes of kitchen wraps out of your child’s reach. Their serrated cutting edges are as dangerous as your knives.

Keep all potentially dangerous kitchen utensils in securely latched drawers. Don’t forget such items as apple corers, eggbeaters, vegetable peelers and grape-fruit spoons.

Don’t store crackers, cookies or other goodies above the stove, tempting your child to attempt to climb there.

Save childproofing tops from finished containers. Use them on whatever bottles they fit which would benefit from them.
