The Hidden Danger Lurking in Your Home: Button Batteries & Household Poisons!
Protecting Your Family Starts Today!
Let Safety Nick protect what’s important to you.
Everyday household items can pose serious risks to young children. Did you know that in 2010 alone, more than 3,400 button battery swallowing cases were reported in the U.S.? Tragically, this led to 19 serious injuries and even deaths. In the past five years, these cases have quadrupled, making button battery safety more critical than ever!
The Button Battery Threat
When a coin lithium button battery gets lodged in a child’s throat, saliva triggers an electrical current, causing a chemical reaction that can burn the esophagus within two hours! Symptoms may resemble common childhood illnesses—coughing, drooling, or discomfort—making diagnosis challenging. Even after removal, damage can continue! Immediate action is critical.
Household Poison & Battery Safety Tips
Poison Prevention
✅ Store medicines and products in their original containers. ✅ Lock medicines and household products out of children’s reach. ✅ Use child-resistant packaging and secure caps tightly. ✅ Keep household products separate from food and medicine. ✅ Store purses and briefcases away from little hands.
Prevent Poisoning from Medicines
✔️ Always read the label before taking or giving medicine. ✔️ Follow dosage instructions exactly as prescribed. ✔️ Never refer to medicine as “candy”—kids remember! ✔️ Take medication privately—children imitate adults.
Prevent Poisoning from Products & Plants
Use household products only as directed—mixing chemicals can create dangerous gases! Keep houseplants out of reach—even non-toxic plants can cause choking hazards!
