I grew up in the late 70s in the Pittsburgh area. As far back as I can remember, we had a Mr. Yuk on the wall phone and my mom had told us to call it if we or our friends ever ate anything bad like cleaning supplies or things from the garage.

They have an online store: https://www.upmc.com/Services/poison-center/store where they sell products with the logo!!

This is incredibly short sighted. The whole point of the logo is that it's an undesirable image. A skull and crossbones (the previous images) became "cool" because pirates wore it.

So now they are making clothing and tote bags with this logo? That risks doing the exact same thing with this logo - making it cool because people are wearing it.
