Thanks for sending this out. It is shocking to me that Poison Control would sign on to a poster that doesn't mention take back programs and states outright that all OTC's can be thrown away. While that may be true from a legal standpoint, common sense says
some of them will negatively impact the environment and possibly human health.<br>
<br>
I will send them my feedback on the poster and their website and I urge others on this list to do likewise. Thanks!<br>
