An educational public health film documenting the dangers of accidental poisoning in children under five. Through case studies of children who ingested household toxins—including tranquilizers, drain cleaner, and lamp oil—the film illustrates how common products become deadly poisons in young hands. It examines poison hazards by developmental stage (crawler, toddler, climber) and provides prevention strategies such as secure storage, child-resistant containers, and parental awareness of high-risk situations. The film emphasizes that over 250,000 household products pose poisoning risks and recommends keeping poison control numbers accessible and ipecac on hand.
