⚠️ Did You Know? Button Batteries Can Kill ⚠️

Button batteries may look harmless, but if swallowed by a child, they can be deadly.
When a button battery gets stuck in a child’s food pipe, it reacts with saliva to produce caustic soda — the same chemical used to unblock drains. This can burn a hole in the food pipe, cause internal bleeding, and tragically, can be fatal.

🧒 Keep button batteries out of reach.
📦 Check toys, remotes, and gadgets.
🔒 Store spares safely.
