Battery dangers

Because of the potential danger of small batteries being swallowed by children, parents should keep miniature batteries for a watch, hearing aid, or camera out of their reach.

The most serious and immediate danger when a battery is swallowed is whether it will clear the esophagus. If it does, and the battery doesn't get stuck or damaged elsewhere in the body, it usually will pass through the digestive system.

If your child should swallow a miniature battery, call the American Watchmakers Institute's National Battery Ingestion Hotline at (202) 625-3333.
