One item that was recently in the news was all about button batteries. This type of battery is round and looks similar to a penny or other small coins. These batteries can be found in a number of products such as toys and cell phones. The problem is that they can be very dangerous to children.
Everyone knows that kids can get into everything. They also like to put things in their mouths. The problem is that these batteries can be a choking hazard to kids. They also pose a serious threat to your health if swallowed. Acids in the battery can become caustic and actually burn a hole right through your body. Notify authorities immediately if you suspect someone has swallowed a battery!
