Lithium Coin Battery Safety

As a mom, I know the importance of keeping small items out of a child’s reach to avoid ingestion. Among these items are lithium coin batteries. Every year, thousands of cases of coin battery ingestions are reported, and swallowing batteries can lead to serious injury or death.

Duracell has taken steps to prevent battery ingestions by updating the packaging and product to have more obvious warnings. But the root of the problem remains: there is a lack of awareness around which devices in the home have coin batteries and what other safety measures can be taken to prevent ingestion. Duracell has created this infographic below for all of you to get a better understanding and to spread the awareness.  Check it out, and share with your friends! Duracell_LiCoin_INFO_SHEET_NA_JPEG A *HUGE* one that I continually forget about is the greeting cards with sound. We get these cards from family a few times a year at most holidays for the boys. They love the cards and play with them for*ever*. I did eventually find one card torn apart because my 5 year old engineer-minded child decided to “figure it out”. I typically encourage this behavior but my 3 year old still puts things in his mouth CONSTANTLY. I’m finding things in his mouth all the time.

 

Take care to put these items out of reach and wrap them in tape when disposing of them!

    It’s true that small kids will put anything in their mouths. Just have to taste everything. But we do have to watch out for it.
