What warning is required on over-the-counter products containing salicylates?

Over-the-counter products that contain salicylates, such as aspirin, require a specific warning due to potential risks associated with their use, particularly in young children. The warning to "Keep out of reach of children" is essential because salicylates can pose serious health risks, including the possibility of Reye's syndrome, a rare but serious condition that can occur in children following a viral infection. This warning helps to prevent accidental ingestion by children, which can lead to severe health complications.

Understanding that salicylates are commonly found in many over-the-counter medications, this warning emphasizes the importance of proper storage and handling of these products to ensure safety. By ensuring that these medications are kept out of children's reach, caregivers can help mitigate the risk of accidental overdose or misuse.

The other warnings, while important in their own contexts, do not address the specific safety concerns associated with salicylates and children's access to these products.
