If you're a parent or carer, put button batteries on your radar. 🚨 Button batteries are small, round, silver batteries that look like coins or lollies to small children. They are found in common household items like toys, remote controls and thermometers. If a battery is swallowed or put in an ear or nose, it can cause severe burns in less than 2 hours or even death. It's important to act quickly. ⏲️ There may be no symptoms, but look out for: 👉 gagging or choking (as a battery is swallowed) �
