IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: KEEP BATTERIES OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN
•
Swallowing may lead to serious injury in as little as 2 hours or death, due to chemical burns and potential
perforation of the oesophagus.
•
If you think batteries might have been swallowed or placed inside any part of the body seek immediate
medical attention
•
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 the compartment is not secure.
•
Dispose of used button batteries immediately and safely. Flat batteries can still be dangerous.
CAUTION: No obvious symptoms
Unfortunately, it is not obvious when a button or coin battery is stuck in a child's oesophagus (food pipe).
There are no specific symptoms associated with this. The child might:
•
cough, gag or drool a lot;
•
appear to have a stomach upset or a virus;
•
be sick;
•
point to their throat or stomach;
•
have a pain in their abdomen, chest or throat;
•
be tired or lethargic;
•
be quieter or more clingy than usual or otherwise "not themselves";
•
lose their appetite or have a reduced appetite; and
•
not want to eat solid food/be unable to eat solid food.
These sorts of symptoms vary or fluctuate, with the pain increasing and then subsiding.
A specific symptom to button and coin battery ingestion is vomiting fresh (bright red) blood. If the child does this
seek immediate medical help.
•
The lack of clear symptoms is why it is important to be vigilant with "flat" or spare button or coin batteries in
the home and the products that contain them.
