Every holiday season seems to bring a tragic story of a young child who choked on the battery contained in a new Christmas toy. A few simple precautions can make this story a tale from the past.
Particularly dangerous are the small “button” type batteries that power many toys and electronic devices. They are small enough for a child to easily put into their mouth and they look just enough like something edible to make this scenario a likelihood.
Look for toys that have a screw cover for the battery compartment that can only be opened with a small screw driver and make sure that the door is securely latched before giving the toy to the child.
Check to see if the batteries are already installed in the device. Toys that have loose batteries in the packaging are particularly dangerous, since they can be overlooked when the package is opened and then found later by the child.
Finally, double check to make sure that there are no spare batteries included with the device. What might seem like a generous act by the manufacturer demands extra diligence on the part of the parent in order to make sure spares go into a safe storage location.
