Coin lithium batteries can be found around most homes in everyday items like remote controls, keyless entry devices for your car, flameless candles and children’s books with sound. If ingested, these coin-sized lithium batteries can cause serious chemical burns in as little as two hours. Yet in a survey conducted by Energizer, 62 percent of parents reported being unaware of the risk associated with coin lithium batteries.

The National Safety Council and Energizer have teamed up to share some important tips every parent should know to help prevent injuries from the ingestion of Coin Lithium batteries to help keep kids safe.

The 4 S’s of Coin Lithium Battery Safety

· STORE devices that use coin lithium batteries out of reach of children

· SECURE the battery compartments of devices

· SELECT battery packaging that meets federal guidelines for child resistance, such as Energizer’s coin lithium battery packaging

· SHARE this information with your friends and family

Energizer led the industry by being the first to voluntarily develop packaging for its 20 millimeter coin lithium batteries that meets the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s (CPSC) strict guidelines for child-resistant packaging. They also developed a national awareness campaign in partnership with Safe Kids Worldwide called The Battery Controlled, which works to alert parents and caregivers to the dangers of swallowing coin lithium batteries. Identifying ways its products can help keep families safe is part of the Energizer commitment to designing its products with people in mind and investing in programs that have a positive impact on the world. that’s positivenergy_™

If it is suspected that a child has swallowed a coin lithium battery, it is important to go to the emergency department immediately. For more information on child safety and coin lithium battery safety, please visit nsc.org, www.energizer.com, TheBatteryControlled.com and www.poison.org/battery.

I always remember the 4 S's…Store, Select, Secure and Share.

Secure the battery compartment

I will safely secure all batteries. Never realized what a danger they are!

I can store devices with batteries out of reach of children.

Keep extra batteries and products that use the batteries locked up and/or out of sight and out of reach!

ALWAYS store batteries away from children! (I would also add away from pets too!)

I need to store them safely out of my kids' reach. I've been kind of lax about storage of my batteries up to this point.

I think it is great that Energizer is taking packaging precautions in an effort to keep from inadvertent injuries to our children. Thank you , I do keep our batteries in the top of our china cabinet, and that keeps kids away from them, I have to use a step stool to get to them myself.

Kids under 4 are at the greatest risk. Many coin-sized button batteries can appear “invisible” to parents because devices come with the batteries already installed. To keep your children safe:

Look in your home for any items that may contain coin-sized button batteries.
Place devices out of sight and out of reach of small children.
Keep loose or spare batteries locked away.
Share this life-saving information with caregivers, friends, family members and sitters.

keeping batteries out of reach of my 3 year old

I keep these batteries locked in my Jewerly cabinet.

Store them where the kids cant get to them.

I have always kept batteries out of reach, but I like the idea of securing remotes and toys that take these batteries with tape, that has always been a major concern.
