WARNING - KEEP BATTERIES OUT OF REACH OF
CHILDREN
•
Swallowing may lead serious injury in as little as 2 hours or death, 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.
