Poison/Candy Buzz Box Loan Program

The poison/candy buzz box loan program allows community members to borrow an interactive poison prevention tool and use it in his/her community. Contact the organization nearest to you and ask to borrow the poison/candy buzz box. Arrange to pick it up and drop it off. Ask for the folder that comes with the display for an explanation of how to operate the buzz box. The program is sponsored by the Connecticut Poison Control Center and Connecticut SAFE KIDS.
