INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — If you have kids, experts say “buyers beware” of purchasing certain types of cleaning products, especially ones that children may think are their favorite food or drink.

Dr. Mowry is a poison control specialist at Indiana University Health Methodist. He said their office in Indianapolis receives at least 2,000 calls of concern a year. Parents are usually on the other end of the phone wondering what to do if their child ingests an alcohol-based product.

“It’s better to be safe than sorry by calling our toll-free number when in doubt,” said Dr. Mowry.

Steve Price, a seasoned child care veteran of 32 years, agrees. Price overlooks more than 150 kids at Kidscape Childcare and Learning Center. Their roster is full with infants and children up to age 12.

Price said he’s watched sanitation products go into the wrong hands. He recommends keeping them completely out of reach from children to avoid disaster.

“I’ve seen them lick their hands, rub their eye and then scream in pain,” said Steve Price with Kidscape Childcare and Learning Center.

This unfortunately happens one too many times according to Dr. Mowry, who often monitors the Poison Control Hotline.
