Five top tips to keep children safe from button batteries

Button batteries can badly hurt or kill a small child if they swallow one. They look like a coin.


Follow our tips to keep a child safe:

  • Look. Look around your home for button batteries. Think toys, lights, remote controls and more.
  • Check. Check for products with loose backs and button batteries that have dropped out.
  • Store. Store button batteries in a safe place, up high and out of a child’s reach.
  • Dispose. Dispose of used button batteries as soon as you can. They are still unsafe.
  • Act. If you think a child may have swallowed a button battery, go straight to A&E or call an ambulance.
