<i> From Times wire services</i>

Poisonous household products would be required to contain chemicals that make them taste bitter under child protection legislation that was announced today.

Assemblyman Richard Katz (D-Sylmar) said at a Capitol news conference that he will amend the proposal into a bill awaiting action in the Assembly Health Committee. The intent, he said, is to discourage young children from ingesting toxic household products that may appear and taste like food and drink.
