At the E.R., where we were eight years ago, there was a poster in one of the treatment rooms. It was a warning to the adults that children look at things differently than we see them. The poster makes a huge impression on me, because it's totally true!

I took two pictures of it, because it was a poster with hologram. So you see 2 different photos in one. If you look straight from the front, then you will see brightly colored attractive toys, what children see. Are you going to walk past it and look at it from the side? Then you'll see what it really is!

Dangerous cleaning products in the eyes of a child quickly resemble an orange elephant, a duck, a feeding bottle, a dinosaur, drum or tasty sweets. I've seen it now in this poster, with my own eyes! I thought (and think) it was a strong message, which I don't really want to remember anyone. That's why I share it with you here. Everyone knows the danger of the countertop, but you really can't be warned often enough.

My advice is to ALWAYS put a child lock on the counter, even if your child cannot walk yet or he/she always listens to your warnings and does not do anything that is not allowed. This poster covers it all, a warned man counts for two. It only has to go wrong once.. the counter cabinet is really (too) dangerous!

A lot of accidents happen every year with chemical household products, half of them with children. Knowing the new symbols of danger is the best prevention. To make everything clearer, these symbols are now identical throughout Europe and many countries around the world since 2017. Do you know them all?
