the dangers of the various

indicated by the labels. It
was emphasized that
labels and directions
should be read carefully
and followed fully to
prevent serious injury or

you or any member of your
family has received an
accidental dose of poison,
contact the poison hotline

as they can give
immediate instructions on
what to do.
Most injuries are to
