Free cupboard-catches are to be given to families in the Glasgow area with a three or four-month-old child in an effort to curb liquitab poisonings.

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde is worried about a continuing rise in the number of children being harmed after biting the brightly coloured capsules.

Doctors in Glasgow first highlighted the dangers of the gel laundry capsules last year after a spate of admissions.

Consultant Haytham Kubba said the problem had not gone away.
