WARNING - KEEP BATTERIES OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN
●
For some types of button batteries, swallowing may lead to serious
injury in as little as two hours or death, due to chemical burns and the
potential perforation of the oesophagus.
●
If you suspect your child has swallowed or inserted a button battery, call
the 24-hour Poisons Information Centre immediately on 13 11 26 for fast,
expert advice.
●
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. Used/
discharged batteries can still be dangerous.
●
Tell others about the risk associated with button batteries and how to
keep their children safe.
