If a battery leaks, changes color, deforms, or emits smoke or fumes, remove it
immediately. Be careful not to get burned in the process. It may cause a fire,
electrical shock or burns if you keep using it.
Keep the batteries and other accessories out of the reach of children and infants. If a
child or infant swallows a battery or accessory, consult a physician immediately.
