Poison Control
The WSMA supports the continuation and enhancement of the Washington
Poison Center. (Res 19, C84; Res A-8, A-99; Res A-11, A-00; Res A-8, A-01)
(Reaffirmed A-23)
The WSMA encourages individual manufacturers of potentially toxic
formulations of household and other commercial products, to consider
adding non-toxic aversive products to either existent or newly introduced
formulations when such formulations have been deemed as having significant
toxic potentials. The WSMA supports these actions publicized as intended
to augment, but in no way replace, those other proven poison prevention
programs, such as child-resistant containers, appropriate packaging and
labeling, parental education, etc. (Res 10, A-89) (Reaffirmed A-23)
