Button Batteries: A Danger to Children

Lithium button batteries can cause injury and death in children. If you think your child may have swallowed a button battery, call the Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222 immediately.
Lithium button batteries are found in remote controls, digital thermometers, audio greeting cards, bathroom scales and many other household items. You should store these items in a place children can't reach.
This video explains how button battery ingestion injures children, symptoms to look out for, and what to do if you think your child may have swallowed a battery.
This video was created by the Poison Control Center at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. This team of pharmacists, nurses and doctors helps thousands of children and adults every year, taking calls around the clock from people who are concerned that a poisoning has occurred. www.chop.edu/po...

Once, my sister's classmate swallowed a battery as a dare (they were in high school, but it was still stupid). He ended up in the hospital.
You know why he took the dare? To get $5.
...FIVE DOLLARS.
He caused potential damage to himself for five dollars.
Apparently, he returned to school and was fine later on, but still.

Button batteries are not a food group. If swallowed, they may not make it safely to your butt. Let's be careful out there!
