What to do
For products which are not sufficiently secure:

Ensure the cap of the product is securely fastened by turning it clockwise with enough force to engage the child resistant lock, and then turning anti-clockwise until a click is heard indicating the mechanism has engaged.

For products which are not child resistant:

Cease using the product immediately and ensure it is out of reach of children. Return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund.
