Health and safety
If the battery or accumulator contains more than
the specified values of lead (Pb), mercury (Hg),
and/or cadmium (Cd) defined in the Battery
Directive (2006/66/EC), then the chemical
symbols for lead (Pb), mercury (Hg) and/or
cadmium (Cd) will appear below the crossed out
wheeled dust bin symbol.
By participating in separate collection of
batteries, you will help to assure the proper
disposal of products and batteries and thus help
to prevent potential negative consequences for
the environment and human health.
For more detailed information about the
collection and recycling programmes available
in your country, please contact your local city
office or the shop where you purchased the
product.
