WARNING! KEEP BATTERIES OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

Never allow children to replace button batteries on any device.

Swallowing or placing inside any part of the body may lead to severe or  fatal injuries in 

as little as 2 hours or less due to chemical burns and potential perforation of the 

oesophagus.

If you suspect your child has swallowed a button battery or placed inside any part 

of the body immediately call the 24-hour POISONS INFORMATION CENTRE on 13 

11 26 for prompt advice. If your child is having any difficulty breathing, contact 

000.

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/coin batteries immediately and safely. A battery can still be 

dangerous even when it can no longer operate the device. Place sticky tape around both 

sides of the battery and dispose of it immediately out of reach of children in an outside 

bin or recycle safely.

Tell others about the risk associated with button batteries and how to keep their children 

safe.
