    America’s Poison Centers® maintains the National Poison Data System® (NPDS), which houses de-identified records of self-reported information from callers to the country’s Poison Centers (PCs). NPDS data do not reflect the entire universe of U.S. exposures and incidences related to any substance(s). Exposures do not necessarily represent apoisoning or overdose and America’s Poison Centers is not able to completely verify the accuracy of every report. NPDS data do not necessarily reflect the opinions of America’s Poison Centers.
