Protecting your child

If you have babies or young children, do NOT leave the following lying around, in unlocked cupboards, or within reach:
bleach, kerosene, gasoline, medication/tablets, alcohol, household cleaners (detergent, disinfectant, oven-cleaners, dishwashing liquid etc.), cologne, permanent cream (for hair), furniture spray, bug spray, weed killer, any other substance which is not intended for consumption.

NEVER put harmful substances in drink or milk bottles or cans.
Remember that products such as apple juice and pine cleaners, candies and tablets, medicines and lamp oil look alike and children can mistake a poisonous substance for a safe one.

If your child swallows any dangerous substance:
Take the child to the hospital immediately
Do not induce vomiting
Do not give the child anything to eat or drink
Keep nose and mouth clean/clear
Keep air passages clear
