This is not as silly as it sounds.
We caught Jnr trying to put one in his mouth. Luckily it hadn't burst, but we did change to the normal tablets rather then the liquid ones.
Some of them do look like sweets, and baby's do shove anything and everything into their gob anyway.

Exactly. Mine live on a shelf above the washing machine, but I expect lots of people keep them under the sink.

blimey. Just the kind of wisdom that a grandfather can impart! I'm on the case - thanks ASC!

Always kept anything that may be harmful at least 3-4 ft off the floor and always out of reach of the kids.
that said doesn't mean i haven't injured myself with cleaning products before...
