Here’s a combined, Facebook-ready version:

🔍 **Why do we use silica gel?**
Silica gel (those little beads in the “Do Not Eat” packets) is actually **non-toxic** — the warning is mostly about choking risk! These packets are included in packages because silica gel absorbs moisture, helping keep products dry and preventing mold or damage. Good to know!

⚠️ Toy magnets can pose a serious danger if swallowed. Keep them away from young children!
Did you know? Small toy magnets can be a serious swallowing hazard for children. If multiple magnets are swallowed, they can attract inside the body and cause severe internal injuries. Please keep them stored safely away from kids.

👜🐾 Safety Tip!
If you have guests visiting, remember to keep their medications up and away from kids and pets. Little hands (and curious noses!) can get into things fast.

A quick check can prevent a big emergency. 💙✨

🤔 Ever wonder when you should call Poison Help vs. calling 911?
You’re not alone — it can be confusing!

📞 Call Poison Help (1-800-222-1222) for any questions or concerns about a possible poisoning. They’re available 24/7 and can guide you on what to do next.

🚨 Call 911 immediately if the person is unconscious, having trouble breathing, seizing, or you feel it’s a life-threatening emergency.

Knowing the difference can save a life. Save the number, share the info, and stay safe! 💙📱

🚨 Carbon Monoxide Safety Reminder! 🚨
CO is invisible and odorless — but totally preventable with a few simple steps:

✔️ Install carbon monoxide alarms on every level of your home, especially near bedrooms
✔️ NEVER use fuel-burning appliances (stoves, grills, generators, or even idling cars) indoors or in the garage
✔️ Keep vents and chimneys clear and unobstructed
✔️ Schedule annual checkups for your heating and fuel-burning appliances
✔️ And if your CO alarm ever goes off — get outside immediately and call for help!

Stay safe, everyone! ❤️🏡
