Press Release Author = Pure Products

Industry = Healthcare

Press Release Summary = The American Association of Poison Control Centers (AAPCC)

products - drain cleaners, toilet bowl cleaners, bleach, soaps and detergents.


One Million poisonings in Canada each year are due to household cleaner ingestion.

Press Release Body = The American Association of Poison Control Centers (AAPCC) has
recorded many exposures to household cleaning substances that were serious enough to
require treatment in a health care facility. Incredibly, according to the AAPCC the
largest number of occurrences of poisoning in 1993 were due to cleaning products -
drain cleaners, toilet bowl cleaners, bleach, soaps and detergents.
One Million poisonings in Canada each year are due to household cleaner ingestion.
Some are fatal. Thousands of children and adults are permanently disfigured or
injured through contact with chemicals in the home each year.
Our pets are also at risk. Animals that don\'t have access to clean, fresh water are
more likely to drink out of puddles, gutters, toilet bowls, or any old container
left sitting around with a liquid in it. Even though my cats always have access to
clean water in a bowl, they seem to prefer the toilet, the sink, the bathtub, or
even a basin with cleaning solution in it.
Are you one of the millions of consumers who tend to think anything sold must be
safe? Think again. Since WWII more than 80,000 synthetic chemicals have been
invented. Most have been created from petroleum and coal tar for the purposes of
chemical warfare. The sad thing is that hardly any of these substances have been
tested for safety, but have been added to our food, water and cleaning products
without our consent and most often without informing us of any dangers. There is a
lot of intentional suppression in this industry that adds approximately 1000 new
chemicals each year.
What can you do to protect your loved ones from chemical injury and poisoning?
First of all, educate yourself, and find safer alternatives as much as possible.
Secondly, minimize use of harsh chemicals. Clean spills and stains immediately,
remove food waste promptly, keep home moisture/humidity down to 30-50%, and use
entry way mats at all entrances.
Third, store all cleaning agents in their original containers out of the reach of
children. Follow the directions on the label and use only the amount of product
recommended. Read labels, follow safety precautions and contact the manufacturer if
you have questions.
By definition, we clean our homes to reduce damage or harm to human and pet health,
and to protect our valued possessions. Let\'s not make the solution worse than the
problem!
