Have you started decorating for the holidays? Be mindful of small battery safety at home, especially around younger children. Button batteries and lithium coin batteries can cause serious injuries if swallowed. Here are measures to take while decorating to keep your kids safe from potential hazards.
"Look for small batteries in lighted decorations such as wreaths, garland, flameless candles, ornaments and musical greeting cards that arrive in the mail. Button batteries and lithium coin batteries may also be found in items left by the door, such as light-up shoes and key fobs in purses and jackets."
