What looks like a treat can actually be dangerous for children.

Gummy vitamins may look and taste like candy, but if a child eats too many, it can lead to serious health risks. This is one of the most common reasons parents call Poison Control.

As part of National Poison Prevention Week, here are a few simple ways to keep kids safe:
• Keep vitamins and medications locked up and out of reach
• Never refer to medicine as “candy”
• Use child-resistant containers properly
• Save the Poison Control number in your phone: 1-800-222-1222

Accidents can happen quickly, but small steps at home can make a big difference.
