Thanks for the link!

You all should add, "help prevent accidental poisonings" to your list of positive points. Medications (OTC and prescription) are the number one cause of poisonings in most age groups. AAPCC 2015 Annual Report (most recent): 
https://aapcc.s3.amazonaws.com/pdfs/annual_reports/2014_AAPCC_NPDS_Annual_Report.pdf  beginning on page 987 (which is really like page 25 of the document)

Dear Mr. Angel,

Your efforts are applauded by all who are active in promoting responsible medication disposal.  However, your press release contains an inaccuracy:

Sincerely,

Thomas O. McAbee
