Today I learned…
I had zero idea Mr. Yuk was a Pittsburgh thing. Having seen these stickers throughout my childhood, I subconsciously assumed this was a federal government program. This is a really cool piece of Pittsburgh trivia, thanks for sharing OP!
Great to know that the stickers are still available too. Despite being cautious with cleaning chemicals around the house, my two and a half year old has been making me nervous lately!

They originated in Pittsburgh but they were definitely used all around the country.

Same. I lived in WI when the commercials aired on TV in the 80s

We got them in Upstate NY too. My wife who grew up outside of Phili never heard of it.

Pittsburgh has had a great medical community for decades. I'm in the Carpenters' Union, and we developed the ICRA (Infection Control and Risk Assessment) Program with area hospitals, and it's being used nationwide by our union now
