Two warning symbols appear on bottles: a skull and crossbones means poison and a flame means it can catch fire, and children learn to stop, not touch, and tell a trusted adult. It then shows that medicine helps but is not candy and too much can make you sick, so only take medicine a trusted adult gives you.
