Did you know that on September 26th, 1961, the United States Congress passed a joint resolution requesting that the President of the United States proclaim the third week of March National Poison Prevention Week? On February 7th, 1962, President John F. Kennedy responded to this request and proclaimed the third week of March as National Poison Prevention Week. The first National Poison Prevention Week was therefore observed in March 1962.
This year it is March 19th-25th. Please help us teach children about poison dangers. If someone may have been poisoned, call the toll free Poison Help Line (1-800-222-1222), which connects you to your local poison center.
