taking the medicine,especially painkillers such as aspirin.Requiring safety caps sounded like a great idea,but there was an unexpected side effect.Because the safety caps are so hardto take off,some people leave them off altogether Worse,some parents leave the bottles where kids can reach them because they feel that it is safe because of the cap.A study on the Peltzman Effect showed that more
