West Virginia Poison Control Center offers tips to ensure a safe, fun holiday

The West Virginia Poison Center issued a statement recently reminding West Virginians to exercise caution when using old toys, toys with small magnets, decorations with button batteries and other items that could present a danger if accidentally ingested by small children.

“Poisonings can happen to anyone,” said Carissa McBurney, community outreach coordinator for the center. “Sometimes people just don’t think about poisonings like this.”
