Button batteries potential death risk to children

Button batteries “can kill a child” if accidentally swallowed, says the Office for Product Safety and Standards.

The Office urges parents to take extreme caution with children using any electronic devices containing button batteries, and seek immediate medical attention if a child accidently swallows one.

Don’t give them anything to eat or drink, and do not try to make them sick, as this could make the chemical reaction even worse.
