American households have an increased amount of pain relievers and drugs now compared to 10 years ago.  Therefore, it is not surprising that there has also been an increase in accidental child poisoning cases involving the ingestion of drugs and medications.  Children whose parents use or keep drugs and medications in there homes that may be easily accessible to children are at an increased risk of ingesting the drugs and suffering an injury as a result.  Although parents of children have a responsibility to store and maintain their medications in a safe and secure manner to prevent a child from tampering and ingesting the medication, manufacturers and sellers of such drugs and medications owe a duty to ensure that their products are safe for consumers.  In other words, manufacturers and sellers of such drugs may be held liable if a child is poisoned as a result of their failure to prevent a foreseeable accident by placing the medication in easy to open containers.

Additionally, children may be poisoned by ingesting everyday household cleaners and other chemicals.  The manufacturers of such products owe a duty to warn of the dangers of ingesting such a product and package it in a safe manner to avoid injury to a child.
