child-resistant
"Child-resistant" refers to products designed to be difficult for young children to open or access, thereby reducing the risk of accidental ingestion or exposure. This feature is commonly found in packaging for medications, household chemicals, and certain foods. The goal is to protect children from potential harm while still allowing adults to use the products safely.
These products often include mechanisms such as push-and-turn caps or safety latches. Regulations, such as those set by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, ensure that child-resistant packaging meets specific standards to effectively deter children while remaining accessible to adults.
