Knowing the most common causes of burns and the most at-risk age groups is vital in preventing burns.
We have teamed up with our friends at Cub Care (you can check out our blog about their amazing service here) to put together this free household essential – a 1-page reference guide detailing the dangers of button batteries, the possible signs of ingestion, how to act in response to a possible or known ingestion, and prevention tips – including information on relevant product recalls, and a how-to video on disposing of button batteries safely.
In Australia, around 20 children a week present to an emergency department with a button battery-related injury – that’s over 1,000 children every year. Let’s work together and get that number to 0.
Pop it on your fridge, keep it on your phone, and share it with anybody who needs to know about button batteries.
You can download the digital (clickable links) and/or printable (QR codes) Button Battery Guides below 👇🏽
