Tips from CAPT
Follow our tips to keep a child safe
Button batteries can badly hurt or even kill a small child if they swallow one. They are the same size as a coin, so can be easily ingested.
Look around your home for button batteries. Think toys, lights, remote controls and more.
Check for products with loose backs and button batteries that have dropped out.
Store button batteries in a safe place, up high and out of a child’s reach.
Dispose of used button batteries as soon as you can. They are still unsafe.
If you think a child may have swallowed a button battery, go straight to A&E or call an ambulance.
