Even vitamins can be toxic in large amounts. Kids don't know the difference between vitamins and candy. Keep them out of sight and reach.#poisonprevention

@NHTSAgov shows .02% drop in traffic deaths through the first 9 months of 2022. Good that recent spikes in fatalities slow, but traffic deaths are still unacceptably high. We are committed to working w/NHTSA, @NTSB & others to make sure ALL kids are safe.

Too much bulk in a coat can create extra room in a car seat harness. Thinner layers provide the same warmth, and the harness will still fit snugly. #TheRightSeat

Some summer days are too hot, which means more play time inside.

Check out the poster below from @HRSAgov & remember to keep potential poisons up, away, and out of children’s sight! #preventpoison #poisonhelp
