According to the world health organization and foreign literature, countries that mandate manufacturers to provide child-protective packaging for medicines and toxic substances have seen a dramatic drop in the number of children being treated for drug poisoning. Child poisoning deaths in Australia were reduced by 45 to 60 percent, and outpatient and emergency treatment for similar injuries were reduced by 60 to 90 percent. In Britain, the number of children (under 10) dying from drug poisoning fell from 151 per 100,000 in 1968 to just 23 per 100,000 in 2000.
