The holidays have resulted in many children receiving toys that require batteries. We sometimes place more safety importance on the toy itself, while forgetting that the batteries also pose a lot of risk.
Here’s a video which details the dangerous risks that batteries pose and what to watch out for.
To hit the point home they take a small battery and put it on a piece of baloney. After a few hours? The battery does damage to the meat, the same way it could do damage if it got lodged inside a child if he or she swallowed it.
This was the unfortunate case for little Hunter, only 4-years-old. Thanks to his grandma, he was quickly rushed to the hospital and they were able to remove it from his windpipe before the battery did damage.
A very important video to share with your friends and family to bring awareness to this potential threat regarding batteries.
