For homes with children using remotes, toys and other devices containing coin batteries. Have secure storage, the device manual and nonconductive tape. Suspected ingestion requires immediate emergency medical care—do not wait for symptoms.

Your try-it-at-home checklist

0 / 4 done

Check that button-cell compartments on remotes, toys and electronics are securely fastened, preferably with a screw or tool-required closure.
Keep new cells in original packaging in locked storage away from children; never leave loose cells on tables.
Promptly collect spent cells, cover the terminals with nonconductive tape and store out of reach until disposal under local battery rules.
If ingestion is suspected, seek emergency medical attention immediately; do not induce vomiting or attempt home removal.
