Summer means more grilling, bonfires, camping, and yard work. But products commonly used during warm weather — like gasoline, lighter fluid, charcoal starter, lamp oil, and torch fuel — can be very dangerous if swallowed or inhaled, especially for children.

Many of these products are called hydrocarbons, a group of chemicals found in fuels and oils. Even a small amount can cause serious breathing problems if it accidentally goes into the lungs.
