As kids' accidental ODs rise, FDA still won't mandate flow restrictors in medicine bottles

Children should not be self administering medication.

That is what it has to do with restrictions on children’s medicine.

To say otherwise is to admit that the major problem isn’t the bottle or the package…but the home. Where the kids have easy access to medications and self administer dosages or the parents are so dirt dumb they do not know how to pour a table spoon.

What about when parents leave a stove available for children to turn on, or when parents leave uncovered electrical sockets, or when parents leave a bottle of wine in the 'fridge—without a flow restrictor…OMG.
