Inventors have developed a new spray bottle that could prevent up to 6,000 injuries to children each year. These injuries occur when children gain access to spray bottles containing household cleaners and other chemicals, and accidentally spray the contents onto themselves. Parents would still ultimately be responsible for preventing their children from accessing chemical spray bottles to completely minimize the chance of harm, though the new child proof bottles would go a long way toward preventing accidents. In a move that will have you thinking “why didn’t I come up with that,” the inventors have taken the conventional spray bottle design — which features a forward-facing trigger located under the spray nozzle — and added a second trigger that protrudes from the rear side of the bottle. Both triggers must be depressed simultaneously for the spray bottle to dispense its contents.
