SAFETY AND WARNINGS
WARNING – KEEP BATTERIES OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN
•
Swallowing may lead to serious injury or death in as little as 2 hours, due
to chemical burns and potential perforation of the oesophagus.
•
If you suspect your child has swallowed or inserted a button battery
immediately call the 24-hour Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26
(Australia) or 0800 764 766 (New Zealand) for fast, expert advice.
•
Examine devices and make sure the battery compartment is correctly
secured, e.g. that the screw or other mechanical fastener is tightened.
Do not use if compartment is not secure.
•
Dispose of used button batteries immediately and safely. Flat batteries
can still be dangerous.
•
Tell others about the risk associated with button batteries and how to
keep their children safe.
