WARNING: KEEP BATTERIES OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN

Swallowing may lead to serious injury in as little as 2 hours or death, due to chemical burns and potential perforation of the esophagus
If you think batteries might have been swallowed or placed inside any part of the body seek immediate medical attention
Examine devices and make sure the battery compartment is correctly secured, e.g. that the screw or other mechanical fastener is tightened. Do not use if compartment is not secure.
Dispose of used button batteries immediately and safely. Flat batteries can still be dangerous

CAUTION : No obvious symptoms Unfortunately, it is not obvious when a button or coin battery is stuck in a child’s esophagus (food pipe)
There are no specific symptoms associated with this. The child might

• cough, gag or drool a lot;
• appear to have a stomach upset or a virus;
• be sick;
• point to their throat or stomach;
• have a pain in their abdomen, chest or throat;
• be tired or lethargic;
• be quieter or more clingy than usual or otherwise “not themselves”;
• lose their appetite or have a reduced appetite; and
• not want to eat solid food/be unable to eat solid food

These sorts of symptoms vary or fluctuate, with the pain increasing and the siding.

A specific symptom to button and coin battery ingestion is vomiting fresh (bright red) blood. If the child does this seek immediate medical help.

The lack of clear symptoms is why it is important to be vigilant with “flat” or spare button or coin batteries in the home and the products that contain them.
