CPR Kids and Cub Care have put together a free household essential for all – a 1-page reference guide detailing the dangers of button batteries, the possible signs of ingestion, how to act in response to a possible or known ingestion, and prevention tips – including information on relevant product recalls, and a how-to video on disposing of button batteries safely.
In Australia, around 20 children a week present to an emergency department with a button battery-related injury – that’s over 1,000 children every year. Let’s work together and get that number to 0.
Pop it on your fridge, keep it on your phone, and share it with anybody who needs to know about button batteries.

And don’t forget to book your baby and child CPR & First Aid class today, so that you know what to do in an emergency involving your little one/s.
