National Poison Prevention Week is nationally designated to highlight poisoning dangers and how to prevent them. Poisoning is the leading cause of injury death in the United States. Since 1962, the President of the United States has proclaimed the third week of March as National Poison Prevention Week to raise awareness about the dangers of poisonings and how to prevent them.
