The ability of a child (or just any exceedingly stupid person) to  
distinguish between a "food" container and a proper chemicals container is  
probably zero anyway.
I'm not saying you should put ferric chloride in a coca cola bottle  
leaving the label unchanged, but i am saying no matter how you label it or  
which container you use, it still needs to be put away somewhere safe.
You can get those "child safe" lids that will only come undone if  
depressed while turning, but i'm not convinced anyone has actually tried  
if children can't get it open anyway.
