Every year, more than 3,500 Americans are placed in potentially life-threatening situations by swallowing  disc or “button" batteries.

Batteries can get stuck in a small child's throat or esophagus, creating an electrical current and a chemical burn within 2 hours after swallowing which can cause death or serious long-term disability.

It doesn't matter whether the battery is in perfect working order, damaged or dead. They are equally dangerous.

This is Brenna Duffy George. She was no match for the tiny button battery she swallowed. Her mother, Cara George, asked us to share this downloadable brochure with you to help keep your child safe. You can also get information about battery safety at the National Capital Poison Center's web site.
