The American Association of Poison Control Centers (AAPCC) has launched a nationwide number for access to the 62 US poison control centers. The number, 1-800-222-1222, is routed to the local poison center serving the caller, based on the area code and exchange of the caller. The number is functional 24-hours a day in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, the US Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico.
While there is no charge imposed for the use of the 1-800-222-1222 number on product labels, there are important guidelines governing its use. It is important that companies comply with these guidelines to optimize emergency response recommendations and treatment.
