apple-juice

JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – Is that apple juice or Pine-Sol?

Kids who can’t yet read labels may not know the difference.

Jamestown Ambulance crews shared information on this and more during the Kids Safety Day event on Thursday, June 30th.

EMT Tyler Spanier says if children or adults are unsure if something is edible or drinkable to ask someone else. He added kids are more likely to get into household cleaning supplies if they’re at “their level.”

Spanier says sometimes it’s a case of switching bottles and not labeling them that can lead to poisoning for both adults and children.

Sometimes it’s just a case of medicine and candies or bottles looking similar.

If you or someone you know has ingested something and you believe to have been poisoned, you can contact the poison hotline at (800) 222-1222.
