Childproof caps are special bottle caps designed to prevent young children from accidentally opening containers that hold potentially harmful substances, such as medications or cleaning products. These caps often require a specific sequence of actions, like pushing down and turning, making it difficult for small hands to open them. These safety features are important for reducing the risk of poisoning and other accidents in homes with children. Many manufacturers of pharmaceuticals and household cleaners use childproof caps as a standard safety measure to protect children from ingesting dangerous substances.
