Accidental poisoning, particularly by medications, is a cause of significant morbidity and mortality in children. A practical, inexpensive, child-resistant, medicine container was recently devised and has been tested. The test container is markedly superior to the prescription container presently used by our pharmacy. This test container, widely used, could conceivably lower the incidence of childhood poisonings due to the accidental ingestion of prescription medicines.
