Abstract
A survey has been made of the ability of children attending a kindergarten or child-minding centre to obtain tablets from two different types of protective enclosure. Both foil-covering and “Palm-'n-Turn” containers provide considerable protection when compared with screw-topped tablet bottles. Approximately three-fifths of the children were unable to open “Palm-'n-Turn” containers and the average time taken to open 10 foil-covered tablets was 476 seconds. It is suggested that the first line of prevention of childhood poisoning is still to keep the tablets out of the child's reach, but the two alternative containers tested here provide added protection if the child should happen to gain access to the tablets.
