battery case before inserting new batteries. If the battery
fluid gets in an eye, it could cause loss of eyesight. If
fluid does enter an eye, wash it out thoroughly with
clean water without rubbing the eye and then consult a
doctor immediately. If the fluid gets on a person's body
or clothing, it could cause skin injuries or burns. If this
should happen, wash it off with clean water and then
consult a doctor immediately.
