This is why button batteries should be kept away from children 🔋⚠️

My friends baby died from this. @Energizer is now making batteries that have a bad taste and a blue dye so parents know they child had a button battery in their mouth. She just got Resses bill passed.

OMG As a mom of 7 w an 18 mos old granddaughter, this is scary. My sons all loved unscrewing the battery compartment lids’ tiny screws. I had to hide the screwdrivers, and put up all the butter knives. Some noisier toys went in the garbage.

😮😮 Never heard this called a button battery.. What happened to watch battery?

Coins are nasty US coins contain zinc (Nasty toxic). Cupronickel ones release Nickel (carcinogen & more/causes heart arrhythmus), copper jacketed steel, can erode & leave the thin copper plating. Which is likely to be sharp & we now use copper plated steel ones

I was a juror in a civil suit where the child jammed a button battery up her nose, and both the parents and the initial doctor who examined her completely fucked up for months. Long story short, she will now live with a huge hole in her septum. I’ll never forget that horror

We had a similar case in a 2 years old. It was initially missed by the parents and at the time of presentation the child had an aortic-esophageal fustula after erosion at inominate takeoff. The child underwent Partial median sternotomy + EGD and extraction of button battery, +

Wow! That’s scary
