Batteries pose a variety of hazards to children including choking, toxicity, electric shock, and burns. There are thousands of different batteries on the market and all contain a variety of chemical agents. They come in various shapes and sizes, ranging from giant bricks to tiny cylinders. One of the most dangerous types of battery for children are lithium coin cell batteries, which are quickly becoming very popular among manufacturers due to their relatively small size and high performance. Being able to power a device with such a small battery is great and convenient for manufacturers and for users, but these batteries becoming so small pose a serious risk for children. The round shape of lithium coin cells and shiny metallic finish can be mistaken for a piece of candy or small food item by a child. Ingestion of a lithium coin cell battery can sometimes not be an issue as they can normally be passed through the system with little issue. In many instances, complications can occur which can be very serious and life threatening. The biggest hazard is the battery being logged in the esophagus, causing choking or even serious burns. If you suspect a child has ingested a battery or any other non-food item it is best to seek professional medical attention right away.
