A resolution recognizing the week of March 20 through March 26, 2022 as "National Poison Prevention Week" and encouraging communities across the United States to raise awareness of the dangers of poisoning and promote poison prevention.

This resolution (SRES 557) designates March 20-26, 2022, as "National Poison Prevention Week" and encourages U.S. communities to raise awareness about poisoning risks and promote prevention. It does not create new laws or requirements but serves as a symbolic recognition of ongoing poison control efforts. The resolution highlights statistics on poisoning incidents (e.g., 420+ children treated daily for poisoning) and acknowledges the work of poison control centers and health partners. It urges the public and healthcare providers to educate families about poison safety, particularly for children and during the pandemic. As a procedural resolution, it has no legal force but aims to support existing prevention initiatives.
