EVERY 9 MINUTES, a child (under age 6) goes to the ER because he/she got access to medicine. Practice safe medicine storage and disposal at home.

Johnson & Johnson has created a helpful set of facts and tips for keeping your medications secure and your family safe (click here).  Remember, there is a MedReturn disposal unit located in the lobby of the Ardsley Police Station that is available for 24/7 disposal of unused, unwanted and expired medications. Be sure to remove any identifying labels on prescription bottles for privacy.
