Are Child Proof Containers Really Child Proof??

Are Child establishment containers re in all toldy tiddlerproof Not really or you could maintain that they be (semi) infant proofing but I say no To me if 5-10 children tail et the so called childproof container carrousel off te its not childproof. Their not really childproof if the child disregard bang it on a heavy(a) push through for a while and manold age to acquire the exonerate off. A child can really get the cap off a anovulant bottleful by throwing it or banging it on a hard surface cause Ive seen it before i started this research and with one of my testify reports.The containers arnt child proof theyre just a little tougher for old population to get them throw and child resistant. I chose to this project cause I precious to go to bed 1. What were childproof containers invented to prevent? 2. How does childproof containers work? 3. Are childproof containers really childproof? 4. burn a preteen child learn to open a childproof container? I went into this project wanting to know the answers to these questions. So I did this by hookup four childproof containers and cleaning them thoroughly and sanitizing them .I gathered a cough medicinal drug botle, prescription pill bottle, a john bowl unsoiled bottle, a over the counter pill bottle, a cleaning supplies spray bottle, usable gloves, test subjects, stop watch, masking tape, a permenant marker, a lab notebook, and graphing paper. With all this I tested a good amount of toddlers around the age 5-6 to see if they could get the childproof stand out off the containers. I gave each subject a bit to open each container and if they couldnt get it open I showed them how to open it with bring out any verbal contact and giving them an other(a) minute and a second try to open it.After testing all of the subjects I saw that many struggled trying to open the toilet bowl cleansing agent bottle and the aspirin container. Children that age, know that a way to get the top off a container is to twist. Many of my subjects didnt get the top off the toilet bowl cleaner nor the aspirin pill bottle. These two containers need a little more than just a twist. The toilet bowl cleaner needs weight pushed on the top and so a twist.On the aspirin the two triangles are needed to be lined up and the kids dont know why the triangles are there so I didnt expect any to get that top off but a few prove me wrong. So when I saw them open it I was stunned about just twisted the top until the triangles luckily lined up and the top was eligible of creation open. But test subject 18 candid it with seriously with no problem In my mind Im like alright who taught you that or are you at home just randomly be allowed to play with pill bottles at home? I really wanted to ask the fella but I said nawl its none of my business.On the other hand some of the kids just used the twisting the top to get the tops off. The pharmacy pill bottle and the cleaning supplies spray bottle is what the kids didnt have a problem acquire off. Parents nowadays tend to let their children play with these containers cause their supposingly child proof. Parents fail to realize that lone(prenominal)(prenominal) some child proof containers are really childproof while the others are selling a lie. Due to these tops posing as a childproof top over 1 million children are accidently poisoned every year.These containers are false and the company should run test to make sure for a fact that they are a childproof top. Parents think the safety cap is acquittance to give 100 percent security. They dont know how easily little kids can get into things like. Every 7 minutes a child is bucket along to the emergency room because they are unintentionally poisoned. These containers play not only a role in the company but alike in the parent/gaurdian or whomever is around at the time cause if the child isnt being watched then there aint no telling what that child testament get into.According to Consumer Produ ct Safety Commission only keep out about 80 percent of the children under the age 5. The government isnt being hard enough when it comes to issues like this. If the government was harder on things like this then companies would budge the way the tops on these containers are made. Once the companies change the way the tops are made by making them tougher to open then youll have a lesser percentage of kids accidentally getting poisoned.Everything starts with the government but the company should want to change it if they see that their tops arent as childproof as they think they are. Companies must realize that these things are heart threatening and isnt a joke. A recent study showed that children as young as 2 can get into these containers. So what that tell you. Parents also need to realize that these tops are not child proof only child resistant. After doing this project I realize that all these containers posing of what they arent. Not child proof but child resistant.
