Today is international Button Battery Awareness Day and along with Child Accident Prevention Trust we want to raise awareness among parents and carers about the potential dangers to children from button batteries.

⚠️Button batteries react with saliva to make caustic soda, which is used to unblock drains. If a child swallows a button battery and it gets stuck in their food pipe, it can burn a hole. This causes internal bleeding and can kill.

Follow these 5 steps:

👀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 your child’s reach.
✅Dispose- of used button batteries as soon as you can. They are still unsafe.
🚑Act - if you think your child may have swallowed a button battery, go straight to A&E or call an ambulance.
